Minsonngo, nice recommendation! There is a combo deal with the EVGA 512-P3-N879-AR , so I get the 2GB memory upgrade for free!

Might also want to look at the e8500 for a slight bit more.
And also you could drop the psu down to the 650, and still be good.

I would recommend a 4850 instead of the 9800 gtx+, but its pretty much just a matter of opinion between the two, not a huge difference. Bad news about the case, it is sold out from Newegg, and they won't have more in stock until the sale is over. I would recommend still getting it at the normal Newegg price, it's a great case. Good luck with the build, I am building one very similar to yours right now.
Oh, and just so you know, newegg has a bundle with the 8400 and P5Q pro, so you can save another $30. Here is the link http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.138376 Last edited by Starman; 11-29-2008 at 04:14 PM. |

That case is £21 cheaper in the UK than Newegg's regular price of £91 ($139.99)(once converted from USD to GBP)
Quite strange for UK to be cheaper. |
