Here is my situation. I am stationed in Saudi Arabia and based on the time change am not on much when my friends are; and I don't want to change servers because sooner or later I will move back. So I have taken up trying to dual-box but am currently runing off a laptop that I think will implode if I try more then two. Since I have to go back over the ocean I also have bad latency but it is not local, it is the jump back across the ocean (500+ normal sometimes peaking over 1,000). This is also a reason I have decided to do this myself, so when I kill someone due to latency issues it is myself. So my question is should I try to build a machine or just buy one and have it shipped over? I just went out to the local computer market and found the following items:


Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 1.0) - motherboard - ATX - iX58 - LGA1366 Socket

Mushkin Enhanced SP 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model 998586

Seagate 250GB 7200 RPM

Gigabyte nVidia GeForce 9800GT 1 GB PCI-Express Video Card GV-N98TSL-1GI

Gigabyte

700W Power Supply
DVD R/W


All for about $1020 which is just a tad more then what I found the same for searching the internet. Or should I just buy one from the states and save the hassle and if so any recommendations? I don't want to spend thousands of $ on a nice one that will just get ruined in the dust over here, but want one to be able to possibly 5 box if I ever get good enough. Also the issue I have buying over here is the whole authentic or not. The one question they ask when you talk about Windows is hacked or original version so I am wondering if the same is not true for the hardware.

I hope this all made sense.
