^^ looks like a pretty good build. i'd go with P5B Deluxe if you don't plan on SLI. spend less money on RAM, and more money on PSU. and get the LG DVD burner. :D

overclocking? if so how far?

all these prices are from newegg except for the case you picked out. i'm sure you could search around and find everything cheaper. that's why i included most of the model numbers. but i specifically picked these parts for compatibility and stability. should be able to get a decent OC as well.

you might think about getting some of your parts from a sponcers? D-TEK and TEAM GROUP? cooling parts and ram for your new system ... just a thought:toast:

I made one change. The Silverstone is a better PSU for only $8 more. 38a on a single 12v rail. Beautiful.
