planning on ordering soon. i'll probably wait until the 9800gx2 comes out and see how much it costs. but i need some help choosing the right psu and mobo. is the ds3l compatible with wolfdale/yorkfield? and it will fit in the antec 900 right? >_> anyother suggestions would be nice.

you have the 6600 and the 8400 on there

9800GX2 will cost somewhere around what the 8800Ultra costs right now, possibly more and will only be good in games that support SLI, unfortunately.

An 8800GTS 512 from EVGA might be wise in the mean time so you can step-up to a newer card when they are released within 90 days, such as the 9800GX2 or GTX.

All else looks solid.

You need to fix the number of Quads on your list, if you are going to buy 11 of them, can I have one? The DS3L will work, I would go with a P35 board and drop the X38 unless your looking to do crossfire. You also have 2 keyboards on the list and that power supply is fine.

lol que? i dont see any q6600s or 2 keyboards on there. probably something with the cookies.. also i heard both the 3870x2 and 9800gx2 are about $450. i guess we'll see on feb 12th. and i'm not planning on doing real sli or crossfire (unless you count those cards^) and i'm only going to do some slight overclocking. and i might change that e8400 to a q9450. so if theres any other mobo better than the DS3L, can you recommend me it?
