Antec is a better case and you already have it. Great processor for the money. Excellent memory. Stable Motherboard. If you can afford the 650W power supply get that. Diamond makes excellent ATI cards with solid support http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...Diamond%204850

I would go with this motherboard instead:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131397 Its the same price and its a normal size board (not micro). Plus it doesn't have on-board graphics which you don't need since you are getting a graphics card. One other thing I will throw out there is that you should get an Nvidia 9800GT instead of the ATI, they are very comparable in price. I just think that Nvidia cards run more stable. My friends ATI 3870 just flat out died after 2 months of use, ever since then Ive just only bought Nvidia graphics. I'm currently running a 9800GT and its runs perfect, it handles games like COD5 very nicely. |

The 4850 is substantialy better and faster gaming card than the obsolete 9800GT, nvidia are by no means more stable than ATI. Just because your friend had one die does not set the standard.
