Ricardo that is a waste of money. I bought a keyboard with those kinda functions for $20.

manowar is right, cyberpowerpc.c om is where it's at for someone else building your rig. Buy ram elsewhere though, cyberpower charges a little high when it comes to ram.

Yeah i think i need to upgrade my video card....mine is an Nvidia 6200 se and the 'family pc' is a nvidia integrated mx 4 series. *sigh*

I heard keyboards with a lot of crappy features like buttons with light, extra buttons for volume control are crap. And that they probably will just stop working. I had the same Acer keyboard for 2 years no problem, it costed me 5$.

Hmm, sounds good. Perhaps you should get 500gb of space and get 2.8ghz instead of 2.4ghz?
