Motherboard recommendation!

Update: Going with P35 as per recommendations. Was originally going to go with the Asus P5K Deluxe, however, I won't be able to get it now, so I'm left with a choice of Abit IP35 Pro, or Gigabyte DS3R or maybe something you guys can think of? Suggestions?

New Gaming PC Build

Thanks for the advise, my company pays for a portion of the purchase so that's why I wasn't particularly concerned with the price. @Marc I was actually planning on the 8400 but i put down 8500 to be more aggressive on the power consumption. Think I'll dial it down the the Corsair HX620...

New Gaming PC Build

Going to get a new system next month and just wanted to make sure that the PSU I choose can handle the system comfortably. There will be mild to medium overclocking, nothing earth shattering as I value stability and longevity. E8500 Asus P5K Deluxe eVGA 8800 GTS 512 4 GB Corsair RAM 2...

Motherboard recommendation!

I'm debating back and forth between a P35 based and a X38 based motherboard, likely from Gigabyte in either case. I won't be Crossfiring but will be mildly OCing. I want everything in the system to last for at least 2 years. Assuming the cost difference between the motherboards is...

Full tower gaming case recommendations

Maybe I'll move to a Mid-tower since the Antec 900 doesn't look so bad. Might be a bit cramped as well.

Full tower gaming case recommendations

Whoops. I'd prefer to stay under $200 CAD/USD. Was originally gonna go with a CM Stacker but price might be a bit high.

Full tower gaming case recommendations

Looking to get my case before the rest of my parts and wanted some input. A few things that I should mention, sound is largely not a concern. While I do appreciate if the case is quieter, it really won't bother me too much as long as it doesn't sound like a jet is taking off next to...

Was looking at the BenQ FP241WZ as it looks to be highly recommended in here, but came across some bad reviews at NCIX.com. Apparently users have reported random blackouts and major flickering on the LCD. Did they just get unlucky?

Planning on building a gaming rig

Hi, Trying to build a gmaing rig and was wondering if anyone knows of any decent locations to get some parts in the GTA in Canada. Online stores are fine as long as they deliver here. I'll update later with my intended parts but I'm having difficulty finding stores that carry said parts...
