Ok I have a hdd (1.5), The PSU (Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC ATX 430W)
Case, OS . MOUSE, KEYBOARD. MONITOR,

What am I missing?

What can I change?

Will that psu handle the system?

I don't plan in ocing

Ram/GPu are sli
Should I go for a sli mobo?

Will the sata 1.5 on the mobo 3.0 be an issue? (I do have a 1.5 sata controller card)

Will windows xp have an issue with the mobo?

This is from Gygabite's Site :

To enable hot plug capability for the SATA connectors controlled by the ICH9 South Bridge, you must install Windows Vista (on ICH9, hot plug is supported in Windows Vista only) and configure the SATA connectors for AHCI mode. (Refer to manual Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "Integrated Peripherals," for details on enabling AHCI.)

Not sure bout dx10 Probs tho, Google is your friend for that, And Yes defintly Windows xp :D. But you cant get dx10 on windows xp anyways..... You no the 8800 cards? the most powerfull nvidia. The 8600 came two cards before that ( the 8700 gt in the middle ).
 
Spend limit is not an issue as I said in PM

I do have the 430W PSU, HDD, PSU,CASE

I am just trying to use the stuff I got

Since I don't do extreme gaming

It will save me money....

Not that I don't want to spend....

But I don't need much power...
 
I can get the E2140 to 3.07GHz, + the 1333FSB mod = Well over 100% OC.

Nothing. If you're going with a lower scale processor, and less RAM, might as well get a cheaper motherboard. It's the same mobo, just 4GB less RAM support.

What type of 430W PSU? Model, specifications, manufacturer? 8500 doesn't suck much, but it's also a very poor card.

The E2180 is worth 5$ more and not better?

Can I get the 1333 FSB mod on this board?

Open Box: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard

It's open box so it's the same price....

The 8500 is only 25$ AR! Not a good deal?

I only play lower requirement games....

My PSU is a TR2-430w Thermaltake

Your choice. E2140 for OCing, E2180 for stock speed.

The mod is on the CPU itself, nothing to do with the board.

Open box = No manuals, and NO DRIVERS!

8500 is a horrible card [for gaming].

1.5 and 3 are all backwards compatible, as already stated.
