Sounds not bad

- video card: XFX 8800 gt 512mb
No no no... MSI GeForce 9600GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127334). I know that link is NewEgg, I just wanted to give you something to look at in the 9600GT series in the same price range as your XFX. I am sure you can find a 9600 made by the company you wish in your location, but remember, look for that 1g memory, "if" you feel you could use it... 1g memory helps so much with todays high resolution monitors, as in 1680x1050 and if you are running more then one monitor, well 1g makes it that much better.
With staying with a 8800GT you are going backward, not foreword like you should when making a new build.
BUT it goes without saying, "you" do the research and pick what "you" feel is best.

CP I will pay for the shipping if you give me one of your old graphic cards =D I'm dead serious by the way.

By the time you were done with shipping cost from CP, you could buy a new one.

That sounds like a computer for a NOOB. Just kiddin' - looks nice; I'd go with the updated graphics card.

Fuck that, 8800 Ultras are still better than the new 9000 series, and it's down to 600usd now.

price point and for dollar to dollar the 8800gt, 9000 series are much better.

Well that's what I though at first, let me get the link.
Nevermind can't find it.
But what is basicaly better on the 9000 series is that the 9800 has 512X2 mb, which is well pretty sweet.
Ultra still has better processing, better shader model(maybe the same, don't remember) and faster clocking.
Although I wouldn't mind having a 9800 :D

I do pay for all my shit :D
I bought my xbox, I bought my zune, I bought my computer, I bought the new graphics card, and now I have to pay for Instrument rating and CFI which is a good 11 grand.

Try food, rent, clothing and all the works and get back to me.
-
Food and rent don't cost 11,000$ at a time.
Maybe after a year you'd pay that much, or close.
that's 11grand I have to pay out of my own pocket for my Flight schooling.
My dad is paying for my Privates which is about 6,000$ and after that's done i'm on my own.
CFI=Certified Flight Instructor=$5,983
Instrument rating=$7,311
That's more than 11grand.
After I get my CFI, there's my job at the Flight school as a flight instructor so I can make the money for college, after I get the minimum of 750 hours, I'll transfer full time over to a regional jet airlines, Which there i'll work up to the 5,500 required hours to go to a major airlines, and this is totaly off topic but Oh well!

Bacon... Way off subject of this thread... Until you live on your own you will not know what money goes into it. This is one of the cases in life that writing numbers on a piece of paper does not add up in the real life world, way to many factor that are "not" seen.
Add I have to say with your post about flight school and your other things about buying on your own... Is that "really" true, I mean going into a store to get something is more then having the money "put" in your hand to get it.
Lets move it back to CPs new system and not how it will be paid for, we are looking at 6+ post that have nothing to do with CPs system.

Last off subject post;
No, it is not money that is put into my hand, I work for it.
Why does everyone think that teenagers don't know how hard it is in the real world?
I sure as hell do, and i'm pretty sure alot of you here do as well. I"t's not easy, I want to live by myself, but I can't, just because of the simple reason that I save every single penny I earn for my schooling, cause I know that it will pay off in the future, I'm planning on going to work for my dad soon, after that I'm moving out. Yeah, I know living on your own at 17, working a job and going to two schools barely finding time to study, that's not the easiest thing to say you can do. I know the value of a dollar, and how hard it is to earn money, but I chose to pay for it myself to show my parents that i'm responsible and to show them I care for my future, because they never had the oportunity, my father worked ever since he was 8 years old, and now he's 60.
I don't want that to be me, so I taught myself early to save my money any chance I got.
Sorry, back on subject now.
