Before I hit the order button

[RickC]

After much research I think I have my new system all set to order but before I do I'd like a final review. I took some suggestions and changed some things on my own. I guess my two biggest concerns at this point is the graphics card going to fit into the case without a problem and have I remembered everything? I think I'm ready for my new build and am looking forward to it. I even managed to stay below my budget of $1500.00. Thanks in advance for those that have helped me and for the final review.

Beautiful. :)

Awesome build... I'm green with envy.

Sorry if I missed it in an earlier post, but I'm curious why the extra LAN card?

[RickC]

I didn't think the onboard nic would suffice and got the second instead. Was I wrong in this decision? I can always return it if it's not used. Your thoughts?
Sincerely
Rick

Would like to hear rickytick or wise POV. The onboard looks the same as the card to me, but I might be missing something.

I agree with you Chunk.

I believe Realtek has proven itself as a high quality LAN device. I don't see any reason to add a dedicated LAN card. jmo
