    Nice system ordered! Same thing as me except I didn't get the 750 off the bat, I opted for the 320GB.

    Wireless card and HD are overpriced. You could save over $100 ordering them separately. Great system otherwise.

    If you're opening it up yourself for the ram upgrade anyway, seems silly to pay so much for the 6300.

    True you do pay twice the price but it is just a matter of not having to keep all these components stashed somewhere so you can keep your warranty.
