Well I've given up on my P4 478... new motherboards with the features i want dont exist, and i think its time to upgrade anyways....
so heres what im lookin at for my next pc... tell me what you guys think, any comments are appreciated :)
i will be using my old ocz 1gb dual channel platinum el and my 2 36gb raptors, thus they are absent on the list as of now :P

Power Supply
video card
board
cpu
heatsink
dvd burner

ill eventually double the ram, get an lcd, aluminum case, and another hard drive for storage/backup.
 
im not sure if im gonna overclock... probably wont, but i might change my mind down the road.
thanks for the psu recommendation... i had a hard time findin one with pci-e supply!

-that PSU is a ripoff , try getting a antec if you plan on paying 90 bucks...
-and the DVD Burner is a rip, its not even dual layer... if your not looking for dual layer then you could prolly get a lite-on for 40 bucks ( i think at newegg.com )
 
What are you going to be using this computer for? That video card seems a bit intense for a regular gaming computer. You could get a 6800GT or a cheaper high end video card that will prolly suit your needs.
 
1. i like the dvd burner for the sata. my friend has a dual layer external that i can use to back files, other than that i dont need 8gb
2. the video card is just future proofing my comp: itll be the last thing i get (which might take a while to save for) but i expect them to be a bit cheaper by then. that video card better be intense for a regular gaming computer... thats the point :)
i would just prefer to invest in something that is much better than the next best thing.
