Are you ordering parts for your own build too? (just curious why there's doubles of some items like 2 gfx cards, 2 sets of ram etc).

Its about 40 in the difference - how long does HWVS take to deliver?

Spotted something odd on dabs
http://www.dabs.ie/products/asus-intel-ultimate-bundle--includes-p8p67-motherboard--intel-core-i5-2500k-and-8gb-ddr3-memory--7J0Y.html

That bundle is more expensive than if you bought the parts separately!

yea thats my final order. im basically taking my PC now (for sale in my sig, really should change that)
+ those components from the basket,
+ an ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3, AM3,
+ phenom II x6,
+ a super flower 550W amazon

and building a beast of a sandy bridge PC,
a good solid phenom X6, gtx 460 build for light gaming and office stuff,
and an overkill HTPC: 4gb ram, Phenom X4, HD6450 600W silent pro PSU (which is gonna look badass in my storm scout case in the living room. wish i could go with a smaller desktop case for the HTPC which could fit into my cabinet, but i just cant justify selling the storm scout and buying a **** little thing. ill lose too much money. the 6970 wont fit into the scout, and ive always wanted a 600t, so thats what the 600t is for.

my housemates next semester are gonna be spoilt rotten anyway.
