Well, true to my form, and probably not going to be a surprise to my wife, I overspent.

Went down to get the e8400 and 2gb kit of Mushkin PC6400, should have been under $300.

What I ended up buying:
1. e8400 ($219)
2. Mushkin Hp6400 2GB DDR2 ($55)

Then I started thinking "Maybe her power supply isn't really up to it"... then I thought, "well I wouldn't mind upping mine a little". (Bought my Corsair HX620 2 months ago)

3. Toughpower 850w ($229)

Need to cool the CPU properly

4. Ultra 120 Extreme ($65)

Wow, I like the look of that new Logitech keyboard/mouse combo

5. Logitech MX5500 keyboard/mouse combo ($159)

I should probably get some beer so I can handle her reaction when she gets home.

6. 24 pack ($40) (This is Canada, thus the price)

I'm hopeless.
