really?? Well, I mean, the thing about newegg is that if you get certain package deals you can get big savings, so if you just went for all the exact same stuff it wouldn't have been much different

whatever, as long as the insurance money covered it it doesn't really matter

Ughh it's not a "bad move" at all to build your own. Jeez. I'm a whore when it comes to saving money though.

you didn't overpay for a computer you're having built, I'm just saying that if you had the time and cared about $$ you could save a lot of money or get a nicer setup for the same amount

I just threw this together,

case: ATX antec sontata III black 500w --> Antec ATX 900 Black w/ 520 W Power Supply
processor: i5 750 --> i7-920 2.66GHz Quad Core (Upgrade)
Gfx Card : radeon HD5750 --> Radeon HD 5770 (Upgrade)
Hard drive: Sata 2 seagate barracuda 500 Go 7200 --> Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200 RPM (Upgrade)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-p55m-ud2 --> ASUS P6T6 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
OS: Windows 7 home edition --> Windows 7 home premium 64-bit (idk if you got 64 bit version, if not then upgrade)
LG dvd+/-RW --> same
Memory : 4 go kit Kingston DDR3 --> OCZ 6GB DDR3 (Upgrade)
Monitor: 23.6 inch ACL asus VH242H --> Hanns-G 23" HDMI Widescreen

Same Price, except you have to build it
Also $30 in mail in rebates

and several of the items aren't package deals, if you spent a little time on it you could save a lot of money finding all the right deals and packages. You could probably get this to drop another $100-200 if you really wanted to :)

Sorry if I came across as bashing your purchase... it's a good deal and a nice setup. Like I said when I can save $$ I'll do almost whatever it takes :lol:
