New System

ibuypower.com seems like a good place.

I get a 7% discount at http://www.velocitymicro.com/
Edge Z5 is the cheapest, configured ok at $1195 (w/o discount).

Trying to decide what processor to get: AMD or Intel. Intel’s system (at ibuypower.com) is slightly more expensive ($150) but is the performance that much better?

Using Tom’s charts to compare:

Video card: Glenn suggested the bang/buck is the 4850

How much power does the PS need? I might get a 850 just to be safe (possibly bad power is causing my HD’s to fail).
