Ok i got $420 to spend on a case which im deciding will be the Dreamer-II with a new psu, and get a mobo/cpu... I wanna get the best hardware for the money.... (the fastest, most reliable,best gaming/overclocking hardware)....Should i go amd or intel(hyperthreaded or regular), and which mobo should i get...i am guessing that ill have about $350 for the mobo/cpu...What u guys think?

ASUS P4P800 Deluxe and a 2.6Ghz Pentium 4.

Asus P4P800 & P4 2.6C...under $300.

Or P4P800 Deluxe like imbest123 said, still around $300.

The X-Dreamer case comes with a Turbo Link power supply...I hope you plan on replacing it with a better quality power supply like a Enermax, Enlight, Fortron Source, HEC, PC Power & Cooling or Sparkle Power.

As far as which CPU to use, that's completely up to you. I'd match whichever CPU you choose to a ASUS motherboard.

For RAM, look at Crucial, Corsair, Geil, Kingston and Mushkin.
