hm. I was confused if I should get the duo or Q6600, guess I get the Q then, thanks 
motherboard wise:
I just heard a lot good things about that motherboard, as a cheaper motherboard I was thinking of the Asus P5N-D ATX instead, is that a decent motherboard? again it's a nVidia chipset.. so confused now, what is the bad about those chipsets?
but if the GA-EP35-DS3R is more stable than the asus's I will go after that, thanks ^^ (just a bit of an asus fanboy, all my hardware has always been asus, but never hurt to try something new)
ram:
any recommended 2x2 gb blocks out there?

on the PSU is say:
totally 32A 382W
my setup atm is:
CPU
Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz (Wolfdale) Box 1300
Motherboard:
GA-EP35-DS3R 800
GFX
Asus GF 8800 GTS 1600
RAM:
Corsair XMS2 Xtreme Performance - Hukommelse - 4 GB ( 2 x 2 GB ) - DIMM 240-pin - DDR II - 800 MHz / PC2-6400 - CL5
700
HDD

PSU:
ELT500AWT (got that)
CASE:
Thermaltake Matrix VX VD3000BWA 700
and only getting 1 8800GTS, I see no reason for two with the games I play. beside. 8800GTS is a pretty decent card from what I can read.
anything I am missing? beside that I still don't know if the motherboard got a optical or coax output for my sound system?

Only 32A, from two rails of 22??? That's less than I thought. It' still fine for your system, no worries.
And the 8800GTS is a VERY decent card, as long as you're careful to get the 512MB version and not the older/slower 640MB or 320MB.
Yes you get the coax and optical outputs with the GA-EP35-DS3R.

Here's a trick: go to www.newegg.com, search for the parts you want to know about. Even if they won't ship to your country (or mine), they're still a great source of info.
I hope they don't mind me using their site like that

LOL, both your case and your PSU will have blue LEDs, they match.
Please mind
