Total cost less than $650 closed out. That's the most important part. Performance on a budget.

You have a problem there, only 3G free on c: drive. Have you mounted your swap file on d:? You should always keep at least 15% of your OS partition free. You only need to receive 1 service pack and your 3 gigs will be more like 1 gig free after all the shadow copies and backup files. |

that looks pretty good. the whole windows experience thing is just bogus b.s. to make you second guess the hardware. an i5 cpu would probably have been a better choice and would have added around $50 to your total. don't know if an i7 would do you much good if you're just gaming. do yourself a favor and apply at least some of these tips... http://www.blackviper.com/2009/10/01/black-vipers-windows-7-super-tweaks/ |

Yeah, One of my biggest regrets with this build is only getting a 60 gig ssd. I need to move some crap from it to my 1tb HDD |

I'd also move your Temp directories used by TEMP, TMP, APPDATA, and any browser.
