Ok i think i got everything i need but im not sure on the Case and Power supply. I know the power supply has to be 500watts at least if im looking to over clock, but i dont really want to, so i really just need to know a good priced/company power supply. The case is confusing me b/c im reading all the decient priced cases on newegg till my head hurts, they all have their pros and cons (like everything) and when i find a good one with good air flow size ect. theirs a big flaw that just isnt good. Thank you all in advanced i appretiate it.

If you aren't going to OC you don't really need the CPU cooler and the motherboard already has Gigalan, so I don't think you need the internet card. also the Sound card might be too much and you can always get one later if the onboard sound is lacking. If you want just get the basic XtremeGamer one, you don't really need all that Fatal1ty stuff lol.

For the motherboard, I would strongly recommend the GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R one instead of the SLI board. If you aren't going to use SLI, there is really no need for a board that has one. Save yourself some money for a new graphics card or processor to upgrade to later on ;) .

if you have any questions, let me know. msg me on aim or yahoo, Maximus9102

1. get a bigger psu than 500w. i would look at either antec or ocz (i like the antec trios with 120mm fan maybe a 650w in this case)

2. case i would be looking for something with some room antec900 maybe or even a coolermaster stacker/centurion

3. unless you are going to use SLI on the 680i it is overkill. i would drop back to an intel chipset prolly the P35 (i like ASUS so maybe the P5K series)

4. hard drive the sweet spot is at 400 or 500gb now best gb/$ so id look at uping the 250 to one of those.

5. Unless you are HUGE on sound i wouldnt worry about the fatality (i have one they are great) but the onboard would do you more than likely and you could spend the money on better psu/case combo.

6. you really dont need the LAN card as there is one if not 2 onboard with all motherboards these days.

7. the freezers are kool ive got a few myself they are quieter and cooler than the intel ones. if your looking at OC or just want less noise id stay with it.

Hope i helped ;)
