What do you think of this build ?
I want it for gaming = Crysis / Far Cry2 / COD4 or any other up coming games :D
I want to try to stick to a $700 budget with shipping included but if it
goes over a few dollars that ok ! :)

Total = $704.44 Shipping included !


Do you think everything will work together good ?

Can i get away with 2gigs to shave the price down or stick with 4 because i hear theres a problem with Vista seeing 4gigs !
Will the PSU i'm using now (Antec Neo Power 480) be enough power or will i have to pick up one ?
 
You have chosen great parts, but you won't even need that 4GB. Get a cheaper GSkill 2GB kit instead. Will you need RAID in the future? Go with a different board if so. If you don't, it is still great. Your PSU will be fine.
 
You might as well get four gigs, memory is so cheap right now.

All 32-bit operating systems are limited to around 4GB of address space for memory, including video card memory, system memory, and so on. With a 32-bit operating system and that config you would only be able to use about 3.5 GB of the installed RAM. 64-bit operating systems can use a vast amount of RAM, something like 16 exabytes.

Microsoft will send you the 64-bit version of Vista for the cost of shipping if you already bought the 32-bit version. Check out the bottom of this page:

I don't know if i'll need a raid set up down the road
but if i do what board do you think i should i get ?:confused:
 
I ordered everything and i went with the 4 gigs of G.SKILL

and i had to get a 4 to 8 pin adapter for my PSU to the motherboard ! :)

Now i'm checking into getting the 64bit Vista Home Premium disk

The site says theres a minimal fee, including shipping and handling so
i'm gonna give them a call and see what happens !

THANK YOU guys :D

Hope to see you in COD4 or Crysis and maybe put one behind your ear !!! LOL

JK :p
