after much consideration, i can't be arsed with a sff. haven't really seen a decent mobo for it, and after a lot more reading i know i'll have much more fun with a tower! plus i want to game the best i can afford, so without further ado some advice would be lovely :)

CPU - I'm thinking Opteron 165. It looks like an awesome chip, and I know I'd have fun OC'ing it - any good hsf advice?

Board - What are the best options? Was looking at Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi X16 (going nvidia). Any other good ones I should consider?

Vid card - Waiting for that new Gainward 7900GT 512MB, then I'll vmod it and whack a Zalman VF900 on top to push it some more (with a view to SLI'ing it)

display - NEC MultiSync® LCD20WGX2 20.1"

sound card - x-fi pro

case - god knows???

memory - moving towards Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3500LL Pro TwinX, but is there something better?

hdd - samsung spinpoint 250gb

psu - enermax liberty 500

any more suggestions? cheers
 
id get a scythe ninja for cooling and g skill hz ram for oc'ing and i think your mb is good for oc'ing but bearing in mind that your cpu only has a 9x mutli i think a dfi sli-dr would be best
 
When I was shopping around for my system, I read a number of reviews.. you could save a few bucks and skip on the dual 16x motherboard. From what I saw there was NO improvement in the jump from x8 to x16. They havent even maxed out x8 yet. I have the premium board.. it rocks. I love the heatppipes on it for silence.

As for my case I went with a tsunami case..dual 120mm fans, plus the entire thing being aluminum.. even the face cover (which is usually crappy thin plastic). The thing is silent even under full load.
