Looks good. I would get the WD640, performs faster than the seagate 500.

 

[houstonserenity]

OS,display,mouseand Keyboard?

Other then that looks great.

Should be a good 4th of July for ya! Looks like a solid build!

 

[resonance451]

Great choices. Keep the Samsung for its 32mb cache.

Houston: often times builds don't include mouse, keyboard, or display, considering they're not actually part of the system and many times people have those components already.

Nice build, and I mean very nice build. With that memory your getting...and it's very solid memory but your not going to do any extreme overclocking with it..and no need to. A nice mild overlock with that cpu to maybe 3.0 or 3.2 is perfect. But I would exchange that s1283 for that Xigmateck down below. It fits better on that mobo, and the s1283 is overkill unless you have a crap case with bad airflow (which you don't), or if your going do some extreme overclocking. That retention bracket is perfect for any Xigmatek including this one below. Also that cpu down below is OEM but after I posted it I noticed it's only a $5 savings...but $5 is still $5.

Looks great! Great components, and superb price!

 

[San Pedro]

Looks good. I agree with WD 640.

 

[FattyRooster]

Thanks guys.

I added the 92mm CPU cooler, thanks Why_Me

Still debating on the WD640 though

 

[Noya]

Go for the WD 640 hard disk.

I would go with a Corsair PSU from buy.com w/google checkout:

Also, what resolution is your monitor? You might think about spending another $20-50 and grabbing an X38 motherboard (open box maybe?).

For deals, checkout slickdeals.net (Hot Deals forum) and fatwallet.com. For instance the 4850 could have been had for $150 just the other day. I've saw the Antec 900 at $69.99 before, etc. If you can shop over the course of a few weeks, you'll probably be able to save at least $100 on parts.

 

[FattyRooster]

Right now my monitor is only 1280x1024 so I probably won't crossfire.

So far ive bought the case which is $99.99 at amazon with free shipping and no tax and i bought the motherboard with an extra $10 off

 

[FattyRooster]

Sorry for the double post but I have a question.

The Core 2 Quad Q9450 is going to be on sale at Frys tomorrow for $250 and I was wondering if it isn't sold out by the time I get there if it will work with my computer. I also switched my memory to this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145194

thanks
