Are you overclocking? I'm going to answer this assuming that you won't be, as this is your first build.
Processor - Buy a retail processor that includes a fan if you're not overclocking. It will have a better warranty and be cheaper. Memory - This is overkill. Get some DDR2 667 RAM for much cheaper. (In your build, without overclocking, DDR2-533 RAM and DDR2-1066 RAM will perform EXACTLY the same, assuming they both have all other stats the same. So there is no point to shell out the extra cash.) MoBo - Go for a P5Q from ASUS in my opinion. I wouldn't trust the MoBo you picked out. Try out these two links. Retail Q6600 - $26 saving Cheaper RAM - $50 saving MoBo - $75 addition Just my two cents. |

I would go with the Radeon HD 4850 over the GeForce 9800GTX+, unless you have some abnormal affinity for nVidia. It is a little bit cheaper and will slightly outperform the GTX+.
