Hardware that I am reusing:
* eVGA 8800GTS 320MB PCI-E 16x GPU
* Creative Labs Soundblaster X-Fi Soundcard
* Drives
o 500GB Hard Disk SATA 3.0 Hitachi Desktar
o 300GB Hard Disk SATA 1.5 Maxtor Diamondmax
o 160GB Hard Disk SATA 1.5 Samsung Spinpoint
o Sony 16x DVD Burner
o LiteOn 16x DVD ROM Reader
* Pinnacle HD Pro Stick TV Tuner

That RAM.. is it good? I have always skimped on the RAM and paid for it in being limited when I overclock. DDR2-800 should leave that wide open for me right?
That motherboard.. I saw it is a favorite Micro-ATX board around here, is that still the case?
The CPU.. I am at my budget limit so I don't think I will wait around for the Q9450
Thoughts?
