I havent thought about computers in the three years since I built my last one, but I just got some money and sure. Really dont want any mistakes like my ram not fitting into the motherslot. Heres what a day of holding off pulling the trigger has gotten me:

In my crappy googling, I cant really see any great benefit to the G35 or P35 or any of those other northbridges because Im not using onboard graphics. Hope I didn't screw that one up.

Also Ive been reading that the 4850 is better than a 9800GTX, if thats so I will definitely return it. Cant seem to find good benchmarks anywhere. Thanks a ton anyone who replies.



*edit*
thanks alot for the replies, I wont be stressing out while I wait for the better card to arrive.
Funny I havent had an ATI card since a 9700 pro. :eek:
 
The 4850 is definitely better than the 9800GTX. If you're looking for a good review, check out the [H] evaluation :). The rest looks pretty good.
 
Considering you can get the Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L for even less than the G33 board you selected, I'd get it instead.

It won't fit inside his case. He's going for a SFF setup, not a desktop.

Anyway, with the exception of the video card, your build looks fine to me. Definitely get the HD4850 if you can.
