Welcome to the forums!

Get a bolt on heatsink. Push pins are a pain:

PC2-8500 has problems with the P35 chipset.

Get a e8400/e8500 if you can.

I suggest these cases:

Antec 900 or 300

or

COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

or

NZXT Tempest

If you want two 4850s, get a P45 or X38/x48 chipset.
X38/X48 is better for Crossfire.

Hi, thx for the quick reply

So I should get MB: GA-EX38-DQ6 insted? Would that be ok for both Memory and 4850s?

The case is bought pretty much as the girlfriend only wants the color white indoor..

 

[evongugg]

Yes, that would be a lot better.

Thx alot mate.. I will buy it now.

You can save a bit of cash by going with DDR2 800 RAM instead. (look for low latency RAM) I'd also look into a 650W or better PSU (for upgrades/X-Fire later).

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184
$70 (Corsair XMS DDR2 800 2x2GB)(5-5-5-18)
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231209
$70 (G.Skill PI DDR2 800 2x2GB)(4-4-4-12)

Since Intel does not have an integrated memory controller, it runs best with low latency RAM, as opposed to "faster" RAM. (AMD Phenoms need the 1066)

Hi IH8U

I can see what you mean about the PSU, will change that.

About the RAM the shop I will buy it at actually have the XMS but they are called XMS Extreme, they are 800mhz aswell. I just thought that the fast the better preformance, but I'm not a wize. I would just like the pc I'm going the buy now last for a "longer" periode and where it's possible to upgrade later on.

 

[IH8U]

Your Proc will get the most benifit from DDR2 800 with lower timings (as these can be OC'ed to 1066 easily too). Also since RAM is cheap, you can always add more later.

P.S. Srry didn't notice you were paying in Euro

Amazon Has them too, and these:

OCZ DDR2 800 (2x2GB)

Cool IH8U, I'll look into those..

Thx alot for input.

And yes $ are pretty hard to buy with in Denmark,, infact so is the Euro, but well Danish Crones wouldn't make any sense to use..
