thanks, I was just looking at parts on tigerdirect I wasnt planning on buying them from there unless they were cheaper

and for the ram I was gonna double up on the one that I linked to.
Now as far as the mother board and cpu at first I did want a quad core but the price tag threw me off, so is that bundle that I picked out any good? Its the same chip that you recommended and the mother board looks to have a decent built in video card thing (whatever thats called haha) .
