Ok, I've got this Nvidia Geforce 8800GT video card picked out.
I'm currently looking at 4 gigs of ram, and it says it doesn't have a heat spreader? How bad of a thing is that?

The ram doesn't? Not a huge deal, but do you have a linky?
It's all about the motherboard, don't skimp there.

What type of network card would you suggest?
EDIT: My motherboard that I've chosen says it has onboard lan. Would I still need an ethernet card?

Zephie and I talked to a crazy smart friend of his. Well, Zephie did, and then translated for me.
Apparently, the latest version of the list

Is even faster, and the processor and ram has been harmonized to make it go faster ^.^
Zephie said it like this. "Before, it was Mr. T strong...now it should be Chuck Norris strong."
Greatest analogy award goes to....

your motherboard melts when you try to send a fax/
where you get your CPU? In a box of crackerjacks?!?

So, apparently the Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX is almost a damned scam, so I'm going to get this overclocked 8800 GTS instead.
And I'm going to forfeit the blu ray player until my next pay period. That way, I can smack bitches in two weeks, and THEN watch blue ray movies in high def on my new monitor two weeks after that

So...I'm getting Vista Ultimate because it's only 10 bucks more than the copy of Premium I was looking at. $129 for Ultimate
Any FULL install of Vista can be used on a clean PC, right? It doesn't have to be some BS "System Builder" version, right?
