EDIT: FOR RECONSIDERED BUILD

So this is now what I have put together.

Mobo:

GPU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814131117

CPU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115037

RAM:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231166

Comes to around $700 before shipping and tax. More than I want to spend, but thas jus the price of awsome. Please give further opinions. Thank You!
Oh, and one other question, Anyone know how well the stock cooler does on this CPU?

Your RAM link is the same link as your CPU link.

Also, that cooler is outrageously expensive, almost as much as the CPU.

Not to mention, you are getting a new mobo + cpu and you aren't interested in a P series Intel motherboard and C2D? Not only is performance higher in most games, but the stock cooler is excellent. You should seriously reconsider the AM2 platform.

Unless you're a true AMD fan i'd go with an intell build. E7200 or E8400 (depending on budget) Asus P45 motherboard

thats the RAM link. The CPU cooler is actually only 53.99 when you put it in your cart.

Looks good. Stock cooler is fine and can even take a mild overclock. Just record and watch temps as you go. Nice system.

Thank you sir. And thanks for finally convincing me to take the leap to intel after all this time. :pt1cable:
