OK so I'm looking to build another comp. and need some suggestions. I know some of you love doing this so here I go. Would like to keep it under $1000.00US. I don't need monitor, speakers, keyboard or mouse.

Case NZXT Appollo Black 69.99 - 20.00 mir $49.99*
or Thermaltake V9 79.99 -10.00 mir $69.99

Video 4870 $180 range favoring this card*
or
GTX 260 160 Range

CPU open to suggestions here I was eyeing the Q9550 $270.00
or
i7 920 $280.00 on sale $229.00*

Mobo open to suggestions I do like Gigabyte or Asus $200.00 range
Asus P6TX58 $239.99*
or
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R $184.99 after rebate

CD/DVD Pioneer DVR-1161DBK $25.00
or
Samsung SH-S223Q $25.00

Card Reader $20.00

Cooling Artic Cooling Freezer Pro $32.00

Hard Drive WD640 GB $75.00* or 1TB for $109.99

PSU 700Watt range 80+ Cert. $100.00* Range I have OCZ now and I'm happy with this I also hear corsair is nice.
Coolmax 700 CU700B 69.99 -20.00 mir 49.99

Memory 6 GB 3X2 DDR3 1600 12800 $80.00 range is 6 GB enough or should I go more.

This comp. is for my home buisness, internet surfing and light gaming mostly L4D. I know this comp. will be an over build but I plan on keeping for 3-4 years.Thanks for all the help and remember you can change any componet. Here is a link to my last build. I'm adding to this comp. and not replacing so this is a second comp. http://www.computerforum.com/126682-new-comp-build.html

youre wanting to get a gtx 260 for less than a 4870. I think gtx 260 costs a bit more than a ati 4870 right now.

The GTX 260 is $10-20 cheaper than a 4870 right now at Newegg. So do you think the 260 would be the way to go. I was leaning toward another 4870 I'm happy with this card and performance.
