Ughhh it runs the same clocks as standard 9800GTs and can overclock.

Principle still applies regardless. This is all academic anyways. Just get the 9800GT, Bacon.
- I'm moving up from a bunch of ~1.6GHz single-core desktops with a GeForce FX 5200 and a Radeon x800 here.
- I'm still not going to do any hardcore gaming, maybe some Source stuff and HCE.
- I don't plan on overclocking anything.
I think the system will work fine for my needs. If it's ELECTRICALLY COMPATIBLE it WFM.

Indeed it will. The 9800GT is already overkill for Halo CE and can max out everything in any Source game (unless you intend to be playing at 2560x1600). You're golden.
The price on the CPU/Mobo combo just went down another $10. Good thing I didn't buy it last night. Hopefully the burner I selected won't be out of stock tonight, as ever other drive I had in the cart was out of stock a few hours later...
just skip the burner until later then. they're not going to get cheaper
My dad demanded I get a 1TB drive... so we took the featured 1TB Seagate off the front page of the Hard Drives section >_> It was $90.
Order complete, should ship in a few days.
Yay! Everything is here except my burner - no DOAs! Shutting down some things and move my old desktops, as well as my server...
throw windows 7 on it so you can feel it's supremacy
I already use Win7. Need to grab 64-bit ISOs of Ubuntu and Win7, actually... Testing everything out with one of my old Ubuntu USB sticks, it runs a beta or alpha of Ubuntu 9.04... Might do a test install off of it, but it's 32-bit. >_>Originally Posted by Haruhi
