EVGA 896-P3-1267-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 896-P3-1267-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Max all settings in WoW at 1920x1080(p) and this monstrosity doesn't break a sweat. In fact... I pretty much can't find a game it won't chew up and spit out. Combined with an Intel 8500 and 4gb RAM I have yet to see less than 50 frames per second. You will not regret your purchase.

Cons: Fattest PCI board I have ever seen. I had to pop that black round "thing" out of my Antec 900 to get it to fit comfortably. It extends 2-3 inches beyond the mobo, so you might find yourself rearranging hard drive bays to make room.

Overall Review: My last card was from EVGA and it ran round-the-clock for about four years before giving me any problems (namely texture flickering in some games). You are getting a solid card supported further by *solid drivers* and the price is right. Do want. Add to cart.

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK

Pros: Multitask with confidence! Gigabyte motherboard automatically detected all proper settings and it's been smooth sailing from the get-go. Memtest86 - no issues. Comes with a shiny little sticker which adds more horsepower to your computer as with a NOS decal on a Subaru.

Cons: Baby blue heat spreaders?

Overall Review: Windows 32 bit will only address ~3.25gb of your RAM but that isn't the RAM's fault. Pair with a 64 bit OS.

Comments: This case is absolutely amazing for its price. It keeps the innards nice and chilly, and has plenty of room to work in. Installation was swift and efficient. PROS: -Airflow like you wouldn't believe -Sleek design -Very sturdy and solid -Disk drive installation needs no screws -Amazingly quiet considering the open-air design CONS: -Nuts/bolts that attach the plexiglass window are iffy. One of mine broke due to accidentally pushing in on the window, but nothing glue can't fix if you're concerned about aesthetics -Front panel must be removed completely to clean filters and install 5.25" drives, but not terribly difficult or annoying VERDICT: -Buy this ma'.

Great Camera, Great Price

Canon PowerShot A510 Silver 3.2MP 4X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Comments: The A510 is currently the highest rated 3.2MP camera according to ConsumerReports - and for good reason! Pop in some rechargeable batteries and a 256 or 512mb SD card and you've got a very affordable and versatile camera. Takes excellent hi-res photos (and the videos ain't bad either). Two thumbs way up for manual controls and 4X optical zoom!
