Very good gamig build. But a couple of things you might need to consider:-
1. Get a PSU on the good psu list in the General Hardware forum. 2. Do you need sli? If no, get a P5B, very good board for non-sli. 3. $10-15 more and you can get a dvd burner instead of a normal cd reader. 4. If you are not overclocking, get Value Select Ram instead. Thats all I can think off atm. 786ARS |

I am not going to use SLI when I get my mobo but in the future I want to be able to throw two video cards in if I want to. I spend a little bit more money and never have to buy a new mobo for SLI.
The power supply is Cool Master which is on the good list in the general hardware forum. http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=131195 I dont really know much about PSU so Cool Master is just a brand I heard was sli Cert. I dont want to spend too much on the PSU tho. But I want it to be SLI certified. I am now also looking at this power supply. OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply 100 - 240 V http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341002 I think I might go with the OCZ PSU. I just picked a DVD/CD drive off newegg that was cheap. I dont think I need two DVD burners so I will stick with it I guess. Later on though I want to upgrade the Nec DVD burner to a blu-ray Burner  I want to overclock but I am not sure how yet. Is it easy to overclock RAM, if so then I will stick with those. If it is hard to overclock then I will get diff RAM any links to Cheaper RAM will be appreciated. |

Definitely go with the OCZ power supply.
Go for a Lite-On DVD drive if you can.
