Save some money get this ram, its cheaper and will out perform the XMS3 ram

Also thats a really bad PSU, it states W/O PFC which is not good, you want something with active PFC to clean up the power your components get fed, for slightly more you can get this PSU which is significantly better

I would suggest paying the 7 extra and getting the XFX 4850, its not OC'ed to 700MHz like the gigabyte one, but it comes with a better cooler that exhausts the heat and a double lifetime warranty.

Thats easily the hardest website to navigate and search on I have seen for a very long time

Its actually incompetent since you cant search for products you want

For your build you shouldnt use 4 1 gig sticks of ram , instead you are better off with a 2 x2 gig kit of DDR3

Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB 2X2GB PC3-10666 DDR3-1333 CL7-7-7-20 Dual Channel Memory Kit
http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=13410BD2601&vpn=PDC34G1333LLK&manufacture=PATRIOT

is $94.25 so that saves you a few dollars as well

Thx for the advice!
Newegg... hmmm i'll check their price!.

Dont forget that you can use NCIX to price match so if direct canada is better on some and newegg is better on others you can still get it all shipped in one box.

@outlander Thats why i stopped using the random canadian sites to piece out builds for people, i cant figure out their interfaces while i have neweggs memorized, i figure if they have an idea of the right parts they can find the lowest price from there.

If you aren't going to crossfire then here is a great board for you.
Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P ATX AM3 DDR3 AMD770 PCI-E16 4PCI-E1 2PCI SATA GBLAN Motherboard ~ $83.33 - $10MIR = $73.33

With the amount you save on the motherboard you can go put a bit more on the video card or CPU. Just note that the 770 chip does not support crossfire or "Multi-plex" GPU which is basically GPU with the 'X2' on it.

PS. If you aren't limited to directcanada now, use this site to find the lowest prices on your products. (Just make sure it is from a reputable company)
