I have been buying parts on a per paycheck basis. I have the following bought.
Enermax Noisetaker 2 600W EPS Active PFC PSU
Corsair XMS2 DDR2 667 2x512 C4
Powmax Demon case in black
2 WD 40GB IDE drives(dont use alot of storage)
Still need Mainboard,CPU,vid card.
I am looking at the following for mild OC and almost entirely gaming(WoW,DND online etc.)
Asus P5N32 SLI SE Deluxe or maybe the P5N32 SLI Premium(Nforce 590 chipset version)
E6400 (dont need more then that for a long time) ( mild OC at about 300FSB max)
BFG 7600GT OC vid cards (2 in SLI yes I know a single 7900 out runs them. Its more about price as I will buy 1 then add the second later)
Total budget is around $900USD Have spent $270 on the PSU,memory. So that leaves $630 for the last 3parts.
I have read all the reviews on the Gigabyte DS and DQ series the Asus P5W DH and P5B boards. I need 2 IDE channels and none of them offer more then 1. I have 2 IDE harddrives and 2 Optical drives. I also want SLI so i can change cards to a 7900 or better when i need to.
Thanks for any reccomendations in advance
