I mean im new at this stuff to but what ive seen Ultimate would just be a waste of money try home edition

$75 cheaper

If you think going SLI go with the 750i if not go with a P35 or P45 chipset from where you feel more safe... (im a asus fanboi)

Q6600 easy OC up to 3.6

the nine hundred is a very nice case

and for the video card... wait and see... probably the gtx260 but... we didnt see a benchmark now
