Also if you have any suggestions on what else I can do just write it down. Also I am specifically concerned with the motherboard and videos cards compatibility.

|||Looks good from here. But you may want to go with Windows Vista to take full advantage of that awesome video card (with DirectX 10)!

Don't let the Vista war stories scare you off. It's been out over a year now, it has matured and most of the bugs have been worked out. (It actually had LESS problems than XP did when it first came out!)

Go with Home Premium. Ultimate is not worth the extra $$



Oh Yeah, I didn't notice the RAM. If you're going 4GB the you need 64b version of your OS|||The Quad-Core Core 2 Extreme QX9775 isn't compatible and some of the other Quad Cores need a certain board revision according to Intel.

The motherboard and videos cards compatibility is ok.



The board went on sale in the fall of 2007 and has the ICH9 southbridge. The newer ICH10 chip is smaller (size) and will produce less heat. The board seem to lack heatpipes.



I like the newer Asus P45 boards. You might want to give them a look.

|||First of all, with a build like this, I am going to assume that you are an extreme gamer thats going to want to play Crysis on High settings and what not



They're compatible but dam, lighten up on the motherboard and RAM.

DDR3 is expensive. Go with DDR2. You should go with a P31/P35 Motherboard.if your willing to spend $220 bukcks on a motherboard



For the RAM, you will most likely use a 32-bit Windows XP Professional. 4 Gigs of RAM on Windows XP 32-bit is a waste of money because Windows XP 32-bit will only utilize up to 3 gigs of RAM. 3 Gigs of RAM should be plenty. 2 GIgs of RAM is plenty.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… that shuld be ideal. You dont need anything over 800MHz RAM. It wont make much of a diffrence.



You dont need to spend so much on a processor. Get a Q6600(Core 2 Quad) and you can easily overclock that to 3.2Ghz. Dont forget about your fan since you didn't list that.



Vista or XP is your choice. Your most liekly going to get 32-bit of either versions anyways. 32-bit= only up to 3 gigs of RAM.



I'd go with Vista since it has DX10 capabilities.
