I am not just going to buy all of them at newegg. I found some cheap prices elsewhere such as www.zipzoomfly.com
Actually I am ordering all the parts except for the video card from zipzoomfly. Free 2nd day shipping and it's cheap I tell ya!
 
Looks good. I just don't understand why you're getting an SLI mobo (a very good one at that), and an ATI card. Go for a 6800GT :D
 
Yea ditch SLI, no reason for it. X800XL is better if your on a budget, if your not super tight you may want to look at the 6800GT. I'd look at a better HDD like the 7002.8 or a Maxtor DM10 drive. I'd also get 1GB of ram, instead of 512. You will appreciate the improvement... with a new system like that, 512 is sorta outdated.

I have the same stick in this currrent computer so I will have two sticks of the Corsair.

Also, can you go on newegg and show me the better hard drives please. Thanks
I chcked the 7200.8 drivers but they are all 200gb and more.

I only need 160gb, is there a major difference between 7200.7 and 7200.8?

That's a rough comparison

The 7200.8 is just newer and better, not sure on specs of it. If its more than you can spend, and you'll never use all that space... then I guess pass on it. Personally I'm getting a 300GB drive and expecting a second one in the future.

Thanks.
I want to stick with 160gb, so is there a better hard drive in that storage size besides the Seagates?

Which Antec 480? And still XP Home? Why not Pro?
