Getting my first desktop pc?

[R-e-n-n-a-t]

Hard disk connectors, yes.

To be honest you're better off buying the machine as you want it, buying a sub-par rig and then upgrading parts will ultimately cost you more money. Do you know any technicians or have friends who have assembled PCs? I'd recommend asking one of them to assemble you a tower from parts, that way you can get exactly what you need and if you're buying components you'll save money compared to a pre-assembled machine.

That card you listed will more than run Oblivion, it's not much of a performance benchmark these days, any medium spec card for the last 4 years will run Oblivion on full specs.

Thanks for the info!
I was planning on just building a pc at first, but fortunately I found an inexpensive model of desktop with quite high specs for the cost. It would have cost me almost double to buy all the parts separately actually! I'm actually a little suspicious... but that model has glowing reviews, so... *shrug*

Anyway, I'm really glad to hear about the Hard Disk Connectors!
