Guys,I am just planning to build a new system. My list is above, so could you give me some suggestions, especially the CPU part. (What about 4400+ X2?)

Actually, I am gonna use it for 3D animation design, picture design and PC game. But you know what, students are usually poor, and in budget, so....... I am in Canada actually. The total price is 2400 CA$. I have to range my budget no more than 2600. Could u help me that? Thxs.

If you need to cut the cost, the first thing to go would be the sound card. Use the onboard sound, if it's not up to your standards you can put a card in later. You also don't need the Zalman - just use the stock HSF that comes with the retail PIB. If you don't plan on adding the second video card, you can save by getting the standard A8N-E or A8N5X instead of the SLI board. For that use, the X2 dual core may be a good way to go. You also don't need XMS ram, value ram will work just fine.
