Hey, up until January I had 939 and I'd still be happy if I was using it now, I had a 4200+. I only really changed to the E4300 for an overclocking experiment, it wasn't even intended to be my main PC initially!
Quote:
800W or 1000W psu(very quiet)
- No such thing! The only PSUs of that rating get very loud under load :-(
Quote:
BD-RW(blu-ray!)
26" or 30" monitor(so i can play PS3 on it IF i do get one)
Only the 24" and 27" dells (revision A04) are compatible with the PS3 due to HDCP, the 30" that I have isn't.
Quote:
good Thermaltake Tower
Fair enough, I never liked that many Thermaltake cases, but there you go.
Quote:
5.1 Sound system
256bit sound card(if there is one)
No such thing, only 24-bit, and that never gets used, 16-bit 48Khz is plenty enough, you won't notice the difference
gaming keyboard and mice
Quote:
atleast 5TB of HDD(prefer seagate or Barracuda)[reason why i need taht much space is b/c i download Anime)
A Barracuda is a Seagate. I personally vote Samsung for large drives at the moment.
I download a lot of HD films, and I mean a lot, and so far I've only used 1300GB of storage, I can envisage 5TB taking ages to fill, one person I know has only just got to 5TB after spending months and months getting games, films, HD films, tv episodes and all sorts.

Just bear in mind the Corsair 620W HX unit can run two 8800GTX cards in SLI with a Water-cooled and overclocked Quad core Processor, without crashes.
800W still the minimum now?

My bad, but we're talking about Dream computers here. The only experience I had with benq was a nightmare. Shoddy tat.

Yes, you do, but nothing more than a basic SoundBlaster.
Quote:

So that'll be all of about 400-500GB then. Why do you need 5000?

Is the Benq that much cheaper than a 2407WFP?
As for the storage, 1-1.5TB is a reasonable size limit, don't forget you can easily add more HDDs later.

The E series isn't much more expensive than the others though, you don't have to go with an Ultrasharp.

Given that it's already faulty, I wouldn't recommend it. I doubt you'd get very far anyway.

Hmm, well, pretty much any cooler is better than stock, but if you don't want to pay for a new motherboard, a new cooler is also going to cost money!

Didn't set your sights very high! You can get 1GB graphics cards now, but the one to have is a 768MB 8800 Ultra.
Nvidia don't make motherboards by the way, only chipsets for them.
Oh, and if you find a silent 1000W Power supply (not that you need one), you let me know, the Tagan Turbojet, OCZ ProXstream and Enermax Galaxy at least are all very noisy.

As often as I can be. Until I get an ISP setup in my student house, expect periodical replies from me, rather than constant.
Oh and yes, that was about your post.
