I am jsut buying this one to get me running . i will be using my hard drive listed in ym system specs . its only 2 months old . thow id like to get a sata later on . i was gonna go with a exsaust and a intake fan and a 120 mm on the heat sink . or what ever comes with the processor .think that will cool enogh for the seanix case . my other p4 seems fine with a 120 on the heat sink and a 80 in the back . but its only a 2.0ghz , 533 mhz fsb . onboard graphics . i like the board i picked out . is it crossfire compatable . it has 2 x16 pci express slots , but doesnt say if its crossfireable . i was also gonna get a dvd burner , curently i have my xbox conected to my pc , lol it works flawlessly except the case has to be open for the ide to go ont hte mobo . for some reason the below computer runs wow . it is just above system requirements . I think the new one will rip . what am i forgeting , anything ? any input would be greatly apreachiated

HUGE overkill on the motherboard - just get a plain old P5LD2. Incompatible ram, you need DDR2-533. Don't even think Crossfire unless you are made of money.

You also need to be looking at Canadian sites for your parts - unless you have a US address for Newegg to ship all these parts to.
