Lets play a game.




Guess how much it cost! (and this is you guessing)

EVGA GTX285
Intel Q6600
Asus ROG X48 Formula
8gb Patriot DDR2 @1066
Kingwin 1000w psu
Antec 900 Case

And what's it's actual value? (this is me asking y'all how much it's really worth)

I won't keep it drawn-out but for now, the only clue is I paid for less than it's actual value.

Yeah ddr2 prices are dumb right now. I've got a total of 16gbs of DDR2 now and i can only fit 12 gb in the system since it would be 2x4's and 2x2's.

First world techy problems.
