i think they could of added you an HD 4890 for that price or a HD 4870 atleast but it depends on the games you are going to play and resolution, 1680x1050 is not bad for that card but 1920x1200 you would have to lower down some details. , Did you customize it on the website on the specs you wanted or you just bought the one that have names like "Paladin Edition". That max orb cpu cooler they gave you looks like it keeps hot air inside of case instead like other coolers were they throw the hot air to exhaust. Also did they do cable management?

I can answer that for you... It's customized. I helped him pick it out. Originally I was going to have him buy each individual part off of newegg... But then I found out that iBuyPower has a free 3 year warranty. So he decided to go with IBP.

My photographer bought an IBP system, looks solid and runs solid too. Doesn't have any form of bloat where and very minimum advertising too throughout the whole system.

You know for custom paint they send it to a car specialties shop to have the case painted.

First off Omega was looking for an AMD system. And when we put it all together EACH part had a 30 day warranty. Believe me. If it had a 2 year warranty Omega prolly woulda gone for the newegg piece by piece.

Yeah, Mitch helped me out with pickin each part out. I was looking into getting at least a 3.0GHz processor and an AMD system. My brother originally told me about the Phenom II Black Edition and I was sold after Mitch recommended it. I kinda went cheap (if you can say that) on the graphics card as I only bought one of them, but I plan on buying another of the same kind to run in crossfire. Basically, with NewEgg and IBP, you trade off cheaper parts for a 3 year warranty. I like warranties. The case is pretty sick, too. When I get this baby, I'll have no excuse in CS when I don't own youse. Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_02

Wow really you. I get that with a q6600 a 9600gt and 2 gigs of ram all on a shitty board. So all I'm saying is the vista rating really don't mean shit beside you have to have over a 3 to run airo or what ever the F*CK its called. O and the i7 will kick amgay's ass anyday.

LOL. Fair enough, but 3.4Ghz and 200 fps on CS is good for me. :D Bring that scrim on, bitches.
