Nice, how well does the Vizio work as the main monitor? I have my MBP, and when I use the MiniDisplayport to HDMI and plug it into my 22" LED Vizio, the picture isn't as sharp as it should be. Even after messing with some settings. Im interested in how well it works...
Read some peoples opinions on it, and some were saying how I wont be able to really upgrade later if I wanted? And that the processor is pretty weak..is this true? I only wanna use it for some MXsim and a little BF3 and such...

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to upgrade it.
Cool man, gonna go ahead and order it tomorrow most likely. SO, only things I will need, to COMPLETE the setup:
-Windows 7 (hopefully can find it cheap here at school)
-DVD burner
Thats it right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Graphics Card is plugged into my TV/monitor via HDMI right?

I have to use the VGA ports because HDMI won't fit the screen no matter what resolution. The top monitor is HDMI and the main monitor is VGA. I would rather have computer monitors. I use these because I already had them...
that computer you posted will connect with HDMI. has the same video card i do. i use VGA though to plug into my 26" Samsung (in 720p LOL). my highest res is 1024x768! but it works fine for me. i have a 17" computer monitor i could use, but i like having everything plugged into one thing. much easier for me.

Cool, thanks for the help! All of the parts should be here today
Dont know if I should go ahead and try and put it together tonight or not...I only have class at 1:30 tomorrow so I can stay up pretty late to get it done if I need to. Ill prolly end up not being able to wait haha
My school has Windows 7 Professional...does it matter whether I get Pro or the Home version? I heard the Home only supports 3.5GB RAM or something...is this correct? Im guessing I should be okay with Professiona right?
Got pretty much everything together and inside the case besides, just gotta do the wiring. I'll post some pics when I get out of class. It's not as hard as I thought
No, it really isn't. I was terrified that I would screw something up and have to RMA a few components. But nope, everything went as smooth as butter. Make sure you watch the Newegg PC building Tip vids if you get stuck. I watched them once before I built my system and watched the actual build video while I was building it. They helped a ton. Wiring is fairly simple, but cable management is a bitch if you don't have a very good case or a fully modular PSU.
