Is it true that if you have multiple combos in your cart that newegg will ship things one combo at a time, and wait to ship the next combo until the first one is completely shipped? I made a build with like 3 combos and I don't want to have to wait for them to be individually shipped at a time, that's just dumb.
Can anybody confirm/annul this? Thanks
Also, here's my build for reference:

A friend recommended I go with Xeon instead of trying to decide between i5/i7, and 700W PSU because I'm thinking of SLI'ing later.
lol don't get the GTX465

Unrelated to my original question, but why?

It's not that great of a card. Get either a HD 5850 which is like 20$ more an out performs the 465 or get the GTX 470 if you can find one on sale.

I'm trying to make the build as cheap as possible. Also, I plan on SLI'ing the 465 in a few months when I get more money to buy a second card on my birthday.

So long as you are getting a second card then you should be fine.

cheapest 5850 is $280, $270 if you include rebates, either way, he'd be spending more than $20, that and he wouldn't get his free Metro 2033, so if you add in the value of that, the 5850 is $85 more(no rebate).
Now that that's out of the way, can anyone here answer my original question? ._.
Get a GTX460
And you're all set

Read OP.
Good choice on the Xeon X3440.
A Xeon X3440 is a core i7. But with a lower core-clock. But the plus side to it is that it has higher binning. So it will overclock much much better than an original core i7.
And I heard that you can only order one combo deal at a time. Try ordering them all first though. If you can't order them all in the same cart, just make a couple more accounts on Newegg and order from those, or make three separate orders on one account. Your choice.

Yeah, I told him the Xeon 3440 would be a better choice ;p
