Now I'm going Intel because currently AMD's Quad Core is basically paper weight since i don't plan on using any editing programs, and even if the programs finaly decide to ketchup with AMD I'm sure Intel will be creative and come up with something better then 4 CPU's stalked on top of each other.
After i get use to my build i plan on playing around with overclocking, but I'm not taking it to the very edge.

I've also been thinking about an Fan Controller any advice in this and if i go this route should i get a different case?

My budget is $2000 Can. Max thats all costs added up.

Depending on how much change i have left I'm going to upgrad my Keyboard, get a headset and new mouse.


Anyhow thats enough of me lets here some feedback on my first build

Thank You very much for checking out my post and any thing you can tell me will be very appreciated.

Drop the video card to a 8800GT then use eVGAs setup program to pick up a 2xx series card once they come out. Don't spend the money on a 9800GTX right now.

You don't need 8GB of RAM unless Photoshop or video editing is in the cards.

I would suggest a new card. Apevia's PSU melt in tests, so I would not be catch dead with one of their cases.
