Looking to buy this system with the XFX ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card.

Just a couple of questions, I have an AMD Phenom II 940 X4 sitting on my shelf.

Can I ask for overclockers to send the computer without the CPU installed so I can use the 940 instead?
Will this reduce the price?
Will it void any warranties?

Also when choosing my OS I realised they didn't give the option for XP Pro 64-bit.
Would they be able to send the CD with the computer?
How difficult is it to install an OS.
Would this also void any warranties as I am installing it myself.

I didn't realise that XP 64 bit was a bad OS.

My uncle says stay well clear of Vista. (He works in ICT software/OS).

Should I then just get Vista Home Premium 64-bit and wait for Windows 7 64-bit?

I am looking at 64-bit only so I can get the use of of the 4GB of RAM plus the 1GB graphics card.

Thanks for everyones help.

download windows 7 64 bit, best OS there is, and it's free.

What's the catch?

How do I do this?

Thanks

Just had a look.

I am not confident on backing up a pc or creating networks.

Should I still get it?
