Ok... I have the beginnings of a build in progress. I have a free antec solo case and I picked up a 700w ocz power supply with good amp output so I should be able to power anything I need. I also have a quad core q6600 intel processor, the problem those parts were a bit easier to choose and get a hold of. Now I am torn between my choices on MOBO's... it seems like the I should probably go with the x38 chipset, but that leaves me with quite a few choices.

... there is also this board by foxconn which looks like a nice option due to the ability to run either DDR2 or DDR3 if I want to upgrade later down the line.

but I am not sure if that is a good brand for boards.
I don't have it yet but Ill be picking up an 8800gt when I get this board. Do I need to pick up some manner of extra cooling for my case if I plan on trying to over clock the system?
Lastly, I have a wired mouse and keyboard, but need to pick up a new system because my girlfriends cat apparently has a thing for the wire to my mouse. Are there major drawbacks to wireless systems? Any particular preference for anyone on optical/laser?
Any suggestions are much appreciated... with any luck Ill have the rest of the items purchased by the the of the weekend and I can start building by next weekend!
