Good choices on the first list. I use ocz ps, and mine works great and is quiet. Boards one, four, and seven all get good reviews, so it's your choice for features versus price.

o1die, you have more patience than I do for clicking on lists of links.

james, include a brief description of each link when you post links:

<PSU>: link
<motherboard>: link
etc.

Many of us do not have high speed internet.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.798877

any suggestions? im trying to cut down a little more...
will these be compatible and will 650w be enough? Im planning on buying 2 120mm fans, one in back, one on side, and one 100mm on the back (will this be too much fans? im worried about overclocking overheating)

thanks!

Go for the retail boxed cpu only; you can get the deluxe cooler later. The Intel heatsink will get you started. Use this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157252. I use patriot ram, and it runs smooth. Newegg has some gamer 2 series 2 x 4 gb for only $24.99 after rebate (link broken). You also may want to get low profile ram to prevent interference with your video card. Intel recommends the ram run at 1333; otherwise the warranty is void. Use 1.5v ram whatever brand you select.

the mother board link is broken :/
and by intel heat sink you mean the one that comes with it? can i overclock with it?

 

[o1die]

Yes. Modest overclocking only. 4 ghtz or less. Maybe with the $$ saved on the board and ram I suggested, you can go ahead and get the premium heatsink.

the link you gave me on the board doesnt work btw...i found this GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 is it good enough?

and which do u think is better? G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB or Patriot Signature 8GB ? theyre the same price

There's alot of negative reviews on that gigabyte board. I'm going to recommend this one instead: biostar TZ68A for $109.99 plus shipping at newegg (link broken). You can order the ram separately and still get a rebate on the patriot. The combo specials look attractive, but sometimes they're used to get rid of bad product. The biostar board doesn't have s-pdif out port, but matches the gigabyte otherwise.

its longer than the gigabyte one but do u know if its longer towards the top or bottom?

 

[o1die]

Micro atx boards will fit any standard micro atx case, even some compaq cases where the back of the board is touching the drive cage. Most of my biostar boards are smaller overall than the asrock. No need to worry.
