For another $20, you could have a much faster processor that will overclock like a mother in the future.
The rest of your build looks pretty solid.

Out of curiosity, did you get a G92 8800gts?

build looks good. I probably would have gone with Corsair ram but have heard good thins about g.skill so you should be fine.

about the flashing bios thing do i need to get a floppy or am i gunna be alright?

and thanks for the replies cheers time to get to work c-ya.

My P5K with a 6750 loaded right up. I think you are pretty safe with that cpu. When the E8400 first came out I expect some P5K boards might have needed a bios upgrade for the 45nm chips but that has probably been taken care of by now.

I still dont think you need a floppy, I think you can flash with a USB memory stick, although I have not had to ever try it.

I flashed my p5k with a usb drive.
