Good build?

The ram is overpriced, i would get this instead, lower timings and its cheaper. The psu that comes with that case cant be any good, since a decent 450w power supply starts at around $50, and i doubt that case would be $9.99 without the psu. Get this one, get psu for the price, best $50 psu that you could get, it will be much more stable then the one that comes with the case. Spend the extra couple of bucks and get a 1950pro instead, considerably better performance then a 7900gs.

You could save a couple bucks on the monitor.

Check out Hanns-G, they have better specs and cost a bunch less. Plus great reviews.

thank you for your proposal, could you link me to any reviews?
I'm VERY careful buying that LCd since it'll be my first LCD (been using really good CRTs until now...) and I'd hate to see any ghosting or bad image quality...

same as above...

I'm really trying to save on the gpu but still want to be able to play WoW without ANY problems (which whould work with the proposed setup or ATI card). and upgrade to a DX10 card later.....
thank you for the dvd burner hint, I might go with the E6600 if I have the cash ;-).
oh and I really do need the 320 gigs ;-) I've been considering buying a 320gig drive and a 80gig drive as system drive though, could be good idea or bad idea depending on how the MB manages it's SATA controller(s)

thanks,

mainly because I don't need sli support and don't plan to spend any $$ on stuff I don't need.

is there any other reason I'd want the p5n-e?

well its actually much cheaper $129 right now.. and for more features and upgradability i thought it was weird that you went with a more expensive board.
since I need wireless anyway and getting it on the mobo is cheaper than buying a seperate card, isn't it?

hummm not sure whether what you say is true but even presuming it is, some1 said that the card runs very hot and that is something I really really dislike, especially since I'm going with a mid tower this time...

Wow that is great bang for the buck. 320 GB for 4.99.
whoops, sorry for the typo,
it's meant to say $94.99 ofc
