OK, since a lot of people have been suggesting AMD, even die hard intel !!!!!!s, I decided to go with amd, and hell, its about the same price, for so much more preformance.

just wanna make sure, memory is a little iffy, but it look all right. Anything I could cut down on?

They sold out fast, and all the places that have them have jacked the price up. I got the last one from ZZF, and it was $619.
 
I'd say your pretty much ready to order with that setup there. Have fun. You might want to look into 2GB though, thats creepy up to standard now..
 
Well, I was thinking of an upgrade to that when its REALLY necessary. What do you mean like 4x512mb sticks?
 
Well, I'm not exactly sure if the new cores have fixed the 4x512 deal, I have read some places that it was and some not. But if you really don't need 2GB then getting another 1GB later, making it 4x512, probably would'nt hurt you to much anyway.

Here is some 2x1GB value kits on this page here . The best ones are name brand, look for Kingston, Corsaid, OCZ, GeiL, TwinMOS, Crucial, any of those will do good.
 
Realistically, 2GB only ups the price of your rig ~5%, or around $100, so since you're spending that much already, might as well go for 2x1GB. Then later when everybody's got 2GB, you can upgrade to 4GB!
 
wow, how in the hell did I miss that. I guess since everyone was reccomending MSI I just found the one that looked good. OOPS!!! thank you so much, that would have been fustrating!!!

Is this board good for overclocking?
 
I did the same thing yesterday. I was bored so I decided to build my "dream computer" but the only thing is i probably will never get this. Atleast anytime soon.
