    Hello I am trying to avoid spending ridiculous dollars on a system where i will have to replace some of the factory installed components right away.  I have a build I am looking to set up but I need a pat on the head telling me it willl be alright and the thing won't explode as soon as I turn it on. ;D

    Also, I was hoping to run Empire total war on it and while i have gotten a go ahead from the forums over there I was hoping for, again, a pat on the head and the nod of approval from some sagely figure.  Thanks for your time

      I am buying it at new egg and the budget is $500 give or take $50.  I don't need OS, monitor or keyboard/mouse but I would like a gaming platform that can tackle high end new stuff such as empire, total war.

      So yeah suggestions would be great, I would seriously appreciate it, thank you and lead on!
