Hi all,

Looking for some suggestions for a build for a friend. I was originally goingn to go with the DS3 as I have one myself and like it a lot(good overclocking, stable etc.) However I see the P35s have hit the market now and read a lot of good things about the new chipset. So what do you think is a better choice going with the DS3, or going with the P35(say the asus ASUS P5K.

Also is the 8800 GTS 640 worth the extra 100$ over the 320. My friend will be playing at 1680 x 1050. And he doesnt want to go SLI.

Thanks
