Looks like I'm almost all set. By the way how would ou rate the 6800gt on a scale of 1-100 and the 6800? Just wanna know how much I would be missing out on. I'd like to have a PC by third week of August, so should I splurge now or wait till around the 2nd week of August to see if prices will drop *keeping fingers crossed*? For how long shoud I keep the boxes? Is it safe to say that if the PC is running fine after a month I can dispose some of them? I mean, I don't want to make a nest for rats and cockroaches and those would be a lot of boxes.
I would advise keeping all boxes manuals and reciepts for the full length of the warrranty they come with. The store you bought the item from will not accept a return without the original packaging in most cases, although if you do not keep the boxes the manufacturer will still accept a returned item as long as you have the reciept but then you will have to mess about obtaining an rma number, shipping the broken item off and a long wait before you get a replacement - the last time i did this was with a graphics card and this needed to be returned to germany for testing! they did end up sending me a brand new and more powerful card back after 6 weeks or so so it wasn't all bad.
