Holy smokes! That almost looks like my list!!!





You can get the mobo a bit cheaper. I posted the link below.





You can probably get cheaper memory than OCZ, they tend to be more expensive and fancy. Unless you are into weird overclocking stuff, just get cheaper ram sticks.





Same with the Hard drive. 150GB is nothing. You can get a nice huge hard drive with 7200 rpm.





One thing. I like to separate my windows system stuff from my gaming. So you may want to use your old hard drive to put windows and such files and use the second hard drive to install the games. It helps to keep things separate.





Good Luck!Help building a gaming computer? Advice on an idea?
looks ok, i would go w/a better psu though.....something name brand like corsair or antec......if your gonna sli that 530w what no-namer probably wont cut it.......also the q9300, i would look into the q9450, double the cache size, 12mb.......and easier to oc w/a multiplier of 8x vs 7.5 on the 9300......i just ordered that cpu, and a corsair tx650 psu,the 109.00 right now on newegg......good luck.......scott.
I would not go with the power supply that comes with the case!! Its not strong enough to carry the watts you are going to use. Grab a 800 watt or 850 watt supply and sell the one in your case to a friend or someone or just put it a side. I would reccomend amd to start with. the new phenom quad core is alot better with 4 rails for information to travel.

and its cheaper and very powerful used with this:

It does use the ddr 2 ram but at 1066 speed and is a bit cheaper so the money you save on the AMD system you can put towards the power supply and another video card.


Oh one more thing:

P.S. ram ddr2:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/鈥?/a>
