7/10
Clean and simple, nothing fancy... nice work on your cables.
If anything id paint the inside/back of your case to give it a more elegant look.

you should take that vga cooler and put it on a 8800GT or GTS(G92) and it'll double your 3dmark score

7 out of 10 from me to.

I say you replace that Nvidia Card with an ATI to call it a true AMD rig, but thats just me.

Thanks for the input. Im defenantly planning on getting a new video card soon, either an 8800gt or HD3850. Just need the money first

*Tkpenalty is freaked out how similar that build is to his secondary*

Nicely done, very clean build that looks rather nice. See that hole next to the PSU? route your spare wires behind the mobo tray; its neater.

Very clean and good cable work. The case is not particularly great, and pics are fuzzy. Offsetting between aesthetics and attention to detail along with build quality. I dub thee 6/10.
