I'll take a look later at the price difference between Geil and OCZ.

Also, I want a top-of-the-line system, therefore I am getting the 3Ghz, not the 2.4C.

With a Gig of Ram, you do not need a 256MB video card... 128MB is MORE than sufficient... 256MB Video Ram is really only for people who only have 256-512MB of system Ram anyway...

Also, if you don't care about OC, then have you looked at Intel's mobo, the D875PBZLK?

Other than that, looks good.

I thought that for games like HL2 and D3, you'll need 256MB?

The D875PBZLK costs just $20 less, but I think it would be smart to just go with the Abit board. It probably has better performance(?), and I dunno, I'd just rather have a Abit .

Intel will have the same standard features..just no o/cing

the Intel will be the most stable board you could find for a non O/c'd 3.0

How is it performance wise? If its better or on par then I'll go for the Intel . I can bump up to overnight shipping for the $23 I saved!
