I changed Graphics to
EVGA 512-P3-N841-A3 GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16

ASUS P5K-E LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard

****Uness you have better suggestions

I will like just go with 1
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

But I have heard A LOT of very nice things about the Raptors & reliability?

I will be running 4-8 Gb Ram using Windows Vista Ultimate - having picked ram yet, ??

I do plan to OC but not right away, well b/c at this point i don't know how?? But thats for another day, just the build for now.

IF I go with the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Processor For $245 , would it be worth speding the extra $30 and getting Q6600 ??

How much performance gain is thr from the E6750 to the E8400 * again thats near the cost of Quad?????

Don't even consider the E6750(65NM) because it has a lower clock and compared to the E8400(45NM)is more energy efficent and the E6750 runs hotter than E8400 because it goes through 65NM manufacturing process.What are you going to use it for though?

$245 for the E8400 is not worth it at the moment. The price should be $200.

Price should be $185, but I would pay $200 if I could find it.
