that was because of shipping cost add right? you don't have a Micro Center near you? i was just trying to save you some money on shipping cost at $18.78 your paying $6.00 bucks in shipping that's almost half of $12.79 on the part itself...I don't burn that in gas to go get the part myself maybe cause it's in the same city...i live in best of luck Rick what ever you decide on to do:)
by the way I got a few of these pci express cards also from the mic:)

I'll be damned, global just e-mailed this same page to me, after looking at I said wow what a deal, if I hadn't ordered the build I did with newegg, I would have jumped on this one, not really savvy enough if this is a better build than the one I ordered.
I know I have a better mobo, but the rest looks like it rivals mine.

Your so right Rick, but you know what, I'm still happy as a pig eating S#$T with what I got, but if anybody is looking for a deal cause I have been doing a lot of researching this past couple of weeks, I would give this a serious look.

Fred,
Not even close! The case is all right but I wouldn't give the PSU house room! The memory is sub-standard, 667MHz, and why would anyone want to build an AMD on an nVidia chip MB in the first place! The AMD chipsets are better by light years in every respect! nVidia ia still smarting from the ass whoopin that AMD gave it just a few months ago in a shoot out of AM2+ motherboards. nVidia planned to win that one (that's why they accepted the challenge) and even had some big shots there to impress! They finished second to the AMD chipped MBs by a wide margin! LOL!!
It's very simple really, if you have an AMD AM2 and up CPU, you want an AMD chipped motherboard! Right now there is no substitute!

Just read the last few posts and the "deal" at global isn't all that. LOL. The psu is "sub-standard", the HDD is NOT known for being that good, the memory is ok but nothing special, the mobo is as Russ has just described, and the cpu is NOT the best offered for the money. :P So don't even second guess your choices thus far. ;)

My sentiments exactly! He's got a very good MB, CPU, Case, PSU and memory. Ain't much left to need! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128341 I seriously like mine! His has almost all the same goodies as mine, but no crossfire, and it's the 780G chipset with HD3300 graphics! It should run great and it's ready for a future Phenom II! For an AMD Man, he's steppin in high cotton! LOL!!

Nah Fred. ;) It's for the AMD builders if they haven't seen the cpu for sale yet. :) The only AM2 socket that I have at my disposal is my work computer and that baby isn't getting a $220 cpu on me installed. ROFL. :P The only AMD stuff around my house right now is 939 socket and unfortunately the AM2 won't fit or I'd have already upgraded with or w/o approval. :D

Sam,
I would hazard a guess, that the Metal Gate Transistors have arrived! The current Phenom II 940 & 920 are 125w. If I remember rightly, your 9550 is 95w and the high dollar Yorkfields are 140w!
May we have a Drum Roll Please! LOL!!
Newegg has one of the new AM3 2.8GHz Phenom II 95w triples for $159.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103649
More options for the AM2+ motherboard owners!

Russ

Officially, both the Kentsfield and Yorkfield chips are 95W, but while the Kentsfields draw about 95W at peak usage, the Yorkfields barely break 80. It is good to see the power consumption dropped for the Phenom 2s though, as the exorbitant power consumption was one of the biggest setbacks for overclocking. As far as I know, only the QX9770 (and perhaps the QX9650, but certainly not the Q9650) break 130W, along with the i7s and the LGA771 QX9775.

Sam,
I can only go by what Intel advertises. It seems to me that when wattage starts being counted by one's, like the 136w QX9750, that the wattage is finally going to be an effective sales tool! Here's what Intel says!
Q9550 95w
http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLAWQ
Q9650 95w
http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLB8W
QX9650 130w
http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sspec=slan3
QX9770 136w
http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLAWM
QX9775 150w
http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLANY
That's Intel's own spec pages!

The QX9775 sounds about right, but that's a Skulltrail chip, not socket 775. The QX9650 is as I expected, I missed the 6W off the QX9770 (there is no 9750 to my knowledge), but in practice, much like the other 45nm Quads, I don't think it uses quite as much as advertised.

Sam,
My bad on the 9750, it is the QX9770! Today, with every watt counting as never before, don't you think that if they drew less power, they would advertise them that way? To my mind, if they could, they would!

They should, but they don't. As I said, the 95W Yorkfields draw more like 80, and the E5200, the 65W competitor to the X2 7750, actually only uses 50W, making it a full half the power consumption of the X2 - I wouldn't have made such a big deal of it otherwise.

Sam,
I would have to conclude that there are conditions where these CPUs draw the wattage claimed in the specifications, otherwise I would think they would advertise a considerably lower wattage, given the importance of power consumption these days.
It's all a moot point anyway, as just about everyone here overclocks to begin with. We'll have to wait and see how well the new 95w Phenom IIs do in the next bunch of reviews and tests. One thing's for certain, the New Phenom IIs should use a lot less wattage than the older ones did!
