buttsex, when the hard drive and cd drive are installed in the case, the cable usually isn't long enough to connect both cuz they're too far apart.

do any of these guys own an alienware, HP, dell, compaq, or ibuypower?[/QUOTE]
No, they build them by themselves.

Well they must be assuming that you are going to buy a new operating system, a terabyte hard drive, a bluray drive, a monitor, keyboard and mouse.
I wouldn't mind a new 1tb HDD... Or a new OS XD

Only if it's an ATX full tower, the hard drive is in the bay closest to the bottom, and the CD drive is in the bay closest to the top.

also all bluray has is movies, and I watch those on my PS3. I don't need a bluray drive in my PC.

People who don't know what they're buying.

I found this list. It is very useful. [url]http://www.yougamers.com/hardware/stats/3dmark06/priceandperformance/[/url]
So I guess the best bang for your buck would be the 9800GT or 4770. If you can afford the 5750 that would be best because of DirectX 11.
Be sure to look at the requirements of the cards. Make sure you power supply can support those cards.

No no no.
9800GTs aren't worth it right now.
4770s are good, but the 4850 costs less, and is better.
And don't buy a GPU just because of DX11. It's a nice feature, but it's not why you buy 5xxx series cards. You buy them when they're better than what you have. Otherwise you're just wasting money.

And if you have an extra $45.

I can get my 4770 to near 4870 speeds. 910 on the core and 1040 on the ram :D
stock 750/800
So I've decided on a new motherboard, some more RAM, and a video card.
What I'm thinking about purchasing:
Mobo: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131402&cm_re=evo_am3-_-13-131-402-_-Product[/url]
Graphics card: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447[/url]
And I have no idea what RAM I should get. As for a PSU, should I stick with [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171031?[/url] Or go with something with a higher wattage? And should I look into fans?

Motherboard and GPU are bueno.
The link you posted was a list of PSUs, but I'm assuming you were looking at this one?

500W will do great for any single-card system out there.

Even a 460W.
