I've been customizing a pc at ecollegepc.com. I just wanted to check and make sure the motherboard, video card, case, psu, etc... make sense as a solid configuration for gaming. Any suggestions would be helpful. I've read many articles praising the hd4850 and 4870, and i'm a little confused as to what motherboard to pick and what psu would be best. I've read the E8400 is great for gaming, but also for $4 more dollars I can get the q6600 quad. Thanks.
