While it might be fine, I always recommend an upmarket cooler for any overclocking.

I think I might skip the overclock since I am used to my laptop with slow video encoding and slow gaming. The i5 will fell fast as it is.

The i5 is very fast... you don't need to overclock it. Hope your build goes well!

Ya, I hope so too. If I have any questions I'll ask before I break something.

Oh... I have a question about networking. I am going to have to access the internet using wireless. Is there any way to get integrated wireless or am I going to have to get a wireless USB?

To get integrated wireless usually requires the ultra-expensive high end motherboards... and I'm not sure if they have them in i5 flavour yet. You can just grab a PCI internal wireless card.

Will this work?

Show me one! I have never seen a mobo with integrated wifi.

That adapter will work, you have a wireless G or B router right?

This one has got one http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813131276
This one too http://www.newegg.co...82E16813157129R

I never came across those... anything manufactured recently?

Actually, from what I see, it is the cheep MOBOs that have the wireless.

I also didn't see any brand new mobos with wireless.

Hmmm... Just wondering about this graphics card.
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814103073 It is the same price with the mail in rebate and looks more powerful. I do play battlefield heroes, so I am wondering what it would take to play that on highest setting.

This is another one I found http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814187091
I just want to make sure that I get what I need. I don't want to spend more than $89 dollars though, so if I have to play at lower resolution that is alright.

Also, if I am to get the PCI wireless card do I have enough PCI slots for both?

Also, how is the performance combo here?

You have more than enough PCI and PCI-E expansion slots on your motherboard.
Get that 4670, its a good card and should be easily able to handle Battlefield Heroes. The 9800gt should be able to do that too.

That is a good combo except for the HDD which has many issues reported with it. On the other hand it works really good for other people so I don't know what to say.

I was thinking I would skip the combo and go with what I've got. The combo is not much cheaper, five dollars. The RAM is the only real benefit and I don't need 1.5 TB. I will stick with what I've got and get the 4670
