Looking to keep it under $850 did I miss anything (Do I got all the things that I need to get it running :P)? Or should I change somthing?

I would look to getting a case without a PSU and get something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817189003
Generally the PSUs that come with inexpensive cases are of low quality.

I am trying to keep it under $850 and I was thinking the case PSU would be enough.
But I am going to end up ordering that PSU or something like it…..brand name good quality and so on.

Since the 7900GS is a fairly powerfull card, I would want a good PSU right at the beginning to eliminate any potental problems from a cheap PSU.

aight il get a better PSU

Sorry it takes so long to reply im kind of busy its finals time at my college >.<(and I work)

But is the ram fine?(compatibility with mobo)

And im prob gonna OC the 3500+ and then later im gonna go for a X2 or something

O and could someone here recommend a different case I want to go for something cool looking. (but for not a lot of $$ and 120mm fans so its quiet )

Don't even think of trying to overclock with that motherboard and that RAM...you need top quality parts to overclock successfully and the parts you've picked are bottom of the barrel.

if you're thinking that you are going to get an X2 anytime within a year from now, just buy an x2 3800 now. It's not worth the performance upgrade to pay $100 for an athlon64 3500 now and then in a year or less put out another $150 for an X2. Just spend $50 more right now and you don't have to upgrade for a long time, will save yourself at least $100 down the road.

Lol I have overclocked worst parts

I can push the 3500+ a little :P(im not gonna go extreme....)

and I am thinking about switching the case with this

[Gekko]

Sorry for the double post....but I was reading the 7900GS reviews and people keep saying that a ECS board is bad..........and you will run into problems later/bad performance with a 7900 so can somone recomend a diffrent AMD board...........

[piXel]

I suppose you could stretch out a little bit more and go for the Asus M2N-E board, the motherboard is something you dont want too skimp out on, go for for 1 gig of corsair value ram aswell.
