|  1200$ gaming rig
Hi. Im looking to build a high end gaming rig for around 1100-1200 $. I was hoping it could be quad core and have a 8800*** video card. I also want to get vista. |

It's only about $140 at their site. And that's cheap, considering the other places. Gives more headroom for future upgrades. Though the Corsair 520HX should do the same.

Since you're not buying for a while, Intel's new desktop processors will be released early next year. So it's up to you, if you want to wait that long. But don't wait too long.
