Nice thanks for the quick reply and good info, I think I'll go with the different ram and cpu...however I don't really like that case, maybe ill look for another one as I can save ~$100 by not getting a shuttle.
I've been out of the PC Hardware game for the last few years, wondering if these components will work...specifically wondering if the ram and motherboard are OK for the 1333fsb processor.

Exclusives sell consoles, which one is one reason the PS3 is selling poorly so far. There just aren't many exclusives for the PS3 that warrant the higher pricepoint, and the 360 has some very good exclusives itself, including the best next gen game out, Gears of War, and surely one of the best...
If i were you, I'd downgrade to 1.50 and then upgrade to the newly released 3.30oe-a firmware, which has all the benefits of the new firmware as well as homebrew working, and it lets you play backups of games.
As if it's hard to do right now?
I played the demo and was actually pleasantly suprised. It was very fluid with nice framerates, although I never really figured out offense that well, I was just hacking up 3's.
COH and WC3 are real strategy games required great micro skills. CNC3 requires almost no micro, its just "lets mass tanks and have a large battle." Looks cool, but gets boring quickly. Play COH competitively online, I see new viable strategies every week.
There isn't even a question here, it's the 360. 360 already has a significantly better lineup and it's lineup for the foreseeable future look significantly better as well. PS3 has hardly any exclusives left, while the 360 has several big ones.
I've got a PSP (bought on launch -- running 3.10oe-a custom firmware) and a 4gb memory stick I just bought and have 8 psp games, about 50 mp3s and a movie on the stick, plus whats in the drive. Never have to switch umds and games load faster off the memory stick...love it.
I think many of them will come to the realization that they spent $200 more on a console that won't end up being as good as the 360 when its all said and done.
Exactly. They'll consoles and millions of copies of Halo 3 and then 2-3 months later sell even more copies, september is really the ideal time to release halo 3.
Both are *great* games. It's too bad COH doesn't get the recognition it truly deserved, even though it did make IGN's list of 25 best PC games ever. COH is the best pc game I've played since HL2, and I've played COH significantly mroe than HL2 or CSS. Online in COH is just awesome.
