Ok so i have already made a couple of threads on this one, but this will be my final - mostly cause i have the money to buy it now haha.

CPU - Q9450 $329
GPU - 4870 - Already Purchased $300
MB - P5E Deluxe X48 - $220
RAM - 8gb OCZ DDR2 800 Titanium - $197.98 (not including $60 worht of rebates)
PSU - Zalman 850 Watt Modular $175
HD - Wester Digital 660gb $90
DVD - LG Sata $25
Case - Antec 900 $109
HS - True 120 +2 fans $80

so total price $1553

which is close enough to $1500 for me, and when i get my rebates then im good to go, under my limit

I guess, any last minute changes that should be neccesary

and i have a couple of questions
1. will the 8gb ram still oc well, im going to try and get a clock of 3.6 making the ram run at 450? is that likely to fly?
2. Will the PSU fit on this MOBO, or is it going to give me a heck of a time?

Cool thanks everybody for all your help already

1. The amount of ram has nothing to do with how well the ram o/c's. It has to do with skills. :) And patience. 2gigs may take 20 mins for 1 memtest pass. 4 gigs 40+ mins. Do the math.

2. Why wouldn't it? I think you mean will the psu fit the case.

Lol sorry not PSU fit mobo, i meant Heatsink, will the TRUE 120 fit on here, first off and will i be able to get ram in all 4 dimms, this Ram is regular height so it should be fine, i was gonna get dominator but that totally would hit i think, and this OCZ=cheaper with similar performance

and sorry another change, i found a better deal on Mushkin DDR2-800 with tighter timings at lower voltage... soo more oc potential

The OCZ DDR2 800 Titanium is standard size so any cpu fan will fit. Go with whatever ram higher than 800mhz if you overclock the yorkie cuz the cpu has a low multiplier so it needs a high fsb to reach a high overclock. 1066mhz or faster ram.

Search for TRUE on newegg's user comments on that mobo.
