Built my rig a few months ago for around $1300. Sold my Xbox and happy with my decision.
I just bought a GTX 660ti 2GB card from Best Buy, where they mistakenly had it listed for $220. Turns out it was originally priced at $320, but the lady let me have it for that price anyway.
@Puddlesworth: Seriously, tell me how having a valid government ID to vote is racist. Please, I'd really like to know the logic that this way of thinking stems from. Are you saying that having proof that you are a US citizen to vote in an election for US leadership is racist somehow? Or is it the fact that the only ones that focus solely on race happen to be liberals "we need to get out the black/hispanic/whatthefuckever vote!" Its disgusting to me that the opposing party tries to denigrate the other party with terms like "racist" and "bigot" with no real backing other than some uninformed emotional reaction. So yes, again, please enlighten me to the reasoning behind keeping illegal aliens from voting.
These new voter ID laws affect low income, minority, and elderly voters. And a substantial chunk of these people vote Democratic. These laws require the purchase of an ID, which can cost upwards of $30. And to a low-income family or an elderly person on a fixed income, that can be quite a lot of money. Which may disenfranchise these people from voting at all.
Compound this with the fact that there are so few cases of voter fraud reported (how many people are really going to take the time to try and vote as somebody else just for an extra vote?), and it doesn't really take a genius to see that these laws are being set up to give Republicans the edge. Because the more people who vote, the better chances Democrats have of winning. I'm not calling them racist, but they are trying to cheat their way to a victory in this election.
Keep in mind that most states do require some form of identification anyway. They just never had to be government issued.
I was at a Fred Meyer recently and had purchased a copy of Skyrim PC in a moment of impulse. The CD-Key was missing inside the game case. I took it back to Fred Meyer, and told the lady. She went to the display case, took out a new copy, said "Here ya go!" and handed it to me. I didn't show her a receipt or proof of purchase or anything. She just took my copy and handed me a new one, and I left without any kind of exchange being rung up at the register.
