    He is a pediatrician. They are the lowest paid doctors. Now, if Amish bondage really takes off............

        I personally would throw in a nice graphics card, but you might not want to spend the extra $100-$200.

          You would imagine wrong.

            It helps if you know a guy and your Russian is good enough.

              SSDs I went with the pro myself.

              I have about 6 of those cases. Would have liked to do something a bit smaller and able to manage dust better.

                Just go to Fry's and by a step or two down from the latest and greatest. That's the sweet spot in terms of performance to cost.

                    Guy hasn't replied for a while. I wonder if he built the PC, it turned self-aware, and it assimilated him!

                      Nope, should have it soon, though.

                      As to the graphics card, isn't the one I picked pretty good? I mean, it isn't tip top of the line, but the price premium there is outrageous.

                        The way things are developing this will last you next 10 years - two console upgrade cycles.

                        The only one I would change is to 512 Gb SSD, as you really can never have enough space, and they are not that expensive anymore, it will be worth minimized hassle of installing/uninstalling programs over the lifetime of this being your main PC.
