about to buy, need final check

[mems99]

my current system is 4 years old. this new build is for regular use, and i
play WOW some time. I want my PC to be stable and quiet, probably not much
OC for now, and able to crossfire if i need another video card later. any
suggestions? thanks a lot for your time

Intel E8400 about $200
ASUS P5K-E $139.99
GIGABYTE GV-RX385512H Radeon HD 3850 512MB $199.99
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 $74.99 ($25 rebate)

case antec 180 $100 ($50 rebate)
psu corsair 520hx $100 ($10 rebate)

Looks good to me. E8400 overclock easily to 4.0 air cooled. Got mines clock at 5.1 stable watercooled.

Looks good. If you're not overclocking, you can use the stock HSF

i did have OC in mind when i was putting my shopping list together. but the system should be good enough for WOW. i want to trade some performance with less heat lol for now

the e8400 is selling for $220, i hate it when they say it is $190 but turned out to be $30 more
