well i recomande the Motherbord Go for the Evga 680i Or asus P35 chip set the rest of the spec seems cool
let me know if you like to burn anything :)

looks good m8... the liteon drives can be a bit noisy tho. If you can afford more, go for a faster CPU now and upgrade your TFT later, just a suggestion. Other than that it looks like you know what you want. Hope it goes well for you. ;)

Thanks for your replys guys!

As you suggest Ashoof, I'll go with an Asus P35 MB and that will let me upgrade the CPU to a E4***

Cheers

I have the Antec 900 case, samsung spinpoint HD, Razor diamonback and saitek eclipse keyboard all absolutely sound, i love the case, and I'm sure you will too. :)

don't you think a 520w PSU is a little low? i heard that 8800's are required 500w minimum and 600w recommended. just a thought.

@Jx3Aroo

Think 520w is enough, Corsair gets good reveiws, to get the system up and running. Alot of forums i've looked at 500w is the average. But thanks for your advice every bit helps!
