Basically the CPU and the MB are the 2 I am unsure most about. I could spend a few more $$ in those parts so suggestions are welcome. Also is the 8800Gt the best bang for the buck? Not looking to OC too much. Maybe a bit.

Thanks for your help!

Is 500watts going to be enough for that graphics card do you think?

 

[Proximon]

Not bad choices at all.

Your motherboard choices are both good, and I see your dilemma. P43 I guess.

Try to get the E7200 CPU. Yes that is a fine Video card choice at the price.

 

[Proximon]

The big brother of that PSU will give you more of a margin...

A good review of 320GB Hard drives. It's worth a quick look

I agree with the Proximon, E7200 if you can and a bit more PSU for headroom.

What about Windows?

 

[deuces_wild]

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I found a good deal on the E7200 at Microcenter ($99.99) so I went ahead and picked that up. I have purchased everything on this list (went with the P43 board) except the case and psu.

 

[Proximon]

Good deal.
