New System Build - Would like Suggestions!

[zanzabar]

there is no such thing as overkill for MB/ram/hard drives

intel is going to keep supporting the core2 platform until 2009q3 with new cpus, adn the nahilem wont be a good chip for most people on this forum, so the better MB and ram u get now the less u have to worry about when the high end chipsets get cut, but u still have 1

is there a reason wy you want ddr3 ?

i mean if you're not OC'ing your not doing anything special ...

why not just grab the Gigabyte EP35 ,with 4 Gigs of ram ... the mobo is like $90 .. and the memory from gskil pc1000 = around $90 also...
the rest is alright

Nop, not really. Memory speed has very little effect on performance, no matter what OCZ/Corsair/... suggest

So yah .. i just ordered all the stuff .. gonna be here in 3 days ..

If i remmeber ill take a pic or 2

Can someone also tell me about that Tool they use to measure speed? or the Speed test?

umm, right now...the motherboard you get will have no affect on your upgradeability of the CPU in the future.

Its stupid to spend so much more for DDR3 RAM just because you want a better motherboard. Just go with a Gigabyte EP35 motherboard and DDR2 RAM, you wont notice any difference between that and what you are planning to get now.

Edit: Why did you ask for advice if you are barely going to listen to their advice.
