What do you think? Is there any problem? |
Looks like a solid build... if you don't mind spending a little more, I'd recommend upgrading the HD to a Caviar black though, you've got such nice components, no needs to have the HD be lagging so far behind the rest. If you just really like Samsung, I'd recommend a Spinpoint drive instead. I have a Caviar black in my main machine and a spinpoint in my older one... very pleased with both.
And I hope you have a better time with the Radeon than my friends and I have. We've all been converted to nVidia fans over the last few months due to driver issues.
As for your monitor question up above, I have no idea about 3D monitors... I don't think I'd fair well with long spurts of looking at 3D, so I'm sticking with a regular old monitor. (also, a decent non 3D monitor is 1/3 the price)
