I'm new here, so I posted this in the wrong spot, my bad.

So heres a bit of my story. I bought myself a Dell M1730 XPS about 2-3 months ago. It's been going good, expect for the last few weeks. I've been getting massive lag in games. Enough lag to make the game unplayable. I even have problems playing games on it that are 4-5 years old. Yeah, I like to play those old games still. I've tried everything. I even formatted. Still didn't work. Thought my GPU was failing. Tested it, it was fine. But what I don't get is, everything was working fine, and then one day, it just went to the craps. I don't wanna send it in, cause I don't feel like waiting another 1.5 months to get it back. So i've decided to sell it. Hopeing to get it working how it should and build myself a new computer.

This is what I had in mind for my new build:

Corsair TX750W 750W ATX 12V 60A 24PIN ATX Power Supply Active PFC 120MM Fan

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition 64BIT DVD OEM

BenQ G2400WD 24IN Widescreen Black LCD Monitor 2MS 1920X1200 4000:1 Senseye HDMI DVI VGA

Pioneer DVR-216DBK Black 20X SATA OEM DVDRW No Software

Antec Nine Hundred Mid Tower Gamer Case 900 ATX 9 Drive Bay No PS Top USB2.0 1394 Audio

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Dual Core Processor LGA775 3.0GHZ Wolfdale 1333FSB 6MB Retail

DFI LP Dk X48-T2RSB+ X48 ATX LGA775 DDR2OC 2PCI-E 3PCI CrossFire SATA RAID HD Sound GLAN Motherboard

HIS Radeon HD 4870 750MHZ 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out Video Card

I'll be ordering all of this from www.ncix.com

It's been almost 4 years since I last built a computer. Tell me what you think. And don't say go with i7 cause I won't. I'm looking for a computer around $2000 and this one fits that price range nicely. I also already have a mouse. A good one at that. Looking at ordering sometime in the next month or so.
 
I don't care what others say..

I find DFI motherboards disgusting....I'd really recommend, for x48, to get Asus or EVGA.

$2000.00 is a sweet budget...is that usd? or are you in Canada since your using ncix?
 
I am in Canada, so it is $2000 CDN.

For that build, I won't be needing that cooler, as i'll be watercooling it. I have it ordered already.

For that Sapphire, i've heard lots of bad things about them. Don't know if it's true or not.

For the OCZ, i've heard these guys have gone down hill. Don't know if thats true or not either.

And I should also mention that i'll be overclocking. That is why I picked out the DFI board. As my last build had a DFI in it and was quite impressed on how well it overclocked. It was the DFI LanParty nForce 4 one, and was able to get my 3000+ from 1.8GHz to 2.7GHz on air. Prime95 stable. Ran for 14-15 hours.

But don't get me wrong, i'll also consider what you have picked out too.
