Not that I care one way or the other, but is there a reason you're choosing to go Intel? I think in most circumstances, you'd get more performance going the amd route. If you just prefer intel, then by all means... go for it.

For about the same price, you could go with:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130238 (get the combo special w/ the free mobo) for $340

and either:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103588 OR
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103562
for $300-$340ish

As far as I know, you'd be better off going that route (unless, like I said, you just prefer Intel).

This is the 2nd thread of recommended this route in tonight heh. It's not that I prefer it... it just seems like a great value. My best friend just bought exactly this and LOVES it (granted, he was going from a p3 600 w/ some crappy 32mb vid card to an x2 3800 and 7800gt soooooooo a pretty big jump).
