Those are all the parts I need at the moment, I'm going to be pricing / cruising the forums at the same time for other related posts, I just wanted to throw this up quick to grab opinions / known issues or anything (more the latter then the former )

why not the 870? kick arse unit, check sky's review
ram wise whatever is cheaper. hell you can find use 1055's as well.

 

[LarkStarr]

I can't find an 870 locally for some reason (I dont want to ship anything) and the integrated video card is a fantastic backup - the less downtime this system has for any reason, the better. it's also $5 off.

I'll look around here for a used 1055 but I kinda want to get this running ASAP. like today.

Thanks Dan!
