Is this chipset outdated?

If you want the newest and latest you always see the highest prices. Unfortunately there's no way around that one.
The thing to do when building any new case is to look at what will fit into the budget you have to work with and go for the items that will last the longest generally in the largest leap you can afford. That helps keeping the need to upgrade too soon down.

Looks good to me. Teh P35 is solid.
Yeah. It is. But i want it to be future proof as well
Define future proof.
no such thing..just get what ya can..and work with it..lol
I thought Asus was number one in motherboards?
But I think that i will go with a gigabyte x38 anyway. Any comments on that?

Asus. Gigabyte, MSI are about the top three seeing DFI, Abit, and only a few others lagging behind. But each to their own according to preferences. Features as well as specifications are generally the thing to look at.
Yeah, I think it's a great board - I own one.
If you're concerned with future proofing, you may want to go with a 790i or X48 chipset. They both require DDR3 memory. Or you could get a board that supports both DDR2 and DDR3 memory. Here's one, for example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128082
And that mobo is fine?
Looks good. Like I said, the Intel P35 chipset is solid and still very relevent. You can run 45nm duals/quads and they're pretty good with overclocking, if that interests you. Gigabyte markets excellent boards.
Thank you. This helped me a lot
Now I'm soon ready to order my parts home Looking so mush forward to it
It's not as good as, say, the SiS or Via chipset, but meh... it will do..
*runs really fast* lol
I just caught that.
Thank you. This helped me a lot
Great! I'm very mush looking forward to your new build as well.

If everything goes as planned and no shipment delays, my new system will be up and running in about 10 days
Maybe I should post my specs to have you guys to comment it to make sure everything is fine ?
The Asus is definitely the cream of the crop. Gigabyte isn't bad anymore, but not Asus material. DFI makes good AMD boards. MSI doesn't make a good anything (they're the WD of motherboards). Abit is a mixed bag, though I'd just as soon pass on them. Intel makes a great board, but no enthusiast features. ECS makes a good board for a business PC.
