| You might consider the 3700+ instead or if not, than don't get the 3500+, you won't really note a huge difference between the 3000+ which only costs $146. Other than that, looks good. Don't forget fans and arctic silver. Roger

 | I'm wondering why people so often recommend the 3200+ when it's hardly faster than the 3000+ and costs and extra 40 bucks. Ryan

| i think im going to change the ram to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145527 240 pin compared to 184 and 40$ less. as for PSU im debating btwn the 3700+ and the 3000+ if i should hold out, prob will get the 3700+ and just wait. as far as arctic silver goes thats only a few bucks, and the fans come stock w/ the case. Btw, prob will go zalman w/ the psu fan.

| you cannot use that RAM, it is DDR2. Currently an Intel Exclusive item I suggest this Optical Drive (this drive does almost every DVD format known to man!) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827136046 |
