Hi there,

Everything looks pretty good. I would make a couple of changes, though:

How much overclocking are you going to want to do?

i was thinking like 3.0 ghz from what i have seen it can be done and still use the normal coolin fan also the the gfx card it says ddr3 i was not sure of that would work with the mobo because it says ddr2

Hi there again,

The memory on the graphics card is completely separate to the system RAM that installs in the motherboard slots. All you need to worry about is the compatibility of the graphics card, and the motherboard.

I have to admit, though, after reading through your list of parts again, that it's rather unbalanced. Your intention of SLI with 2x 9800GTX graphics cards is good, but then to be pairing it with that processor is going to limit your performance potential.

Is this build sticking to a specific budget? If so, what is it, and we'll help you build a well-rounded system that will give you the best performance for your money.

Cheers

oh and what would be a good case?

Hi Dom

As you were mentioning, the 9800 GTX is a good choice.

You should buy it at tigerdirect for the same price and they give you a free Company Of Heroes game. Can't beat it, eh?

Everything else looks pretty good though

[narutodom]

[ultimateslacker2]

Hi there,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Here is a list I have re-worked a few times to get it looking just nice.

It includes Vista 64-bit, I'm unsure if that's what you wanted, but it's definitely the way I would go!

If you need to incorporate a monitor, keyboard, and mouse into the price, then we'll need to rework the parts even further... (Don't tell me that's the case! )

Without further ado:
