that only leaves like 150 dollars for a monitor and keyboard and mouse. u could go wit a normal gtx instead of the 512mb. and get a 4200 instead of 4400 and just overclock.

Thats a tough one to be honest. The A8N32SLI DLX is the more technologically advanced board (being the NF4 SLIx16 chipset vs the NF4 SLI) and it overclocks better however the DFI LP has the tried-and-true effect .. regardless, both boards are friggen great

Hey Praetor, you really like the Big Typhoon dont ya! Suggesting it to everyone!n Im getting it, so you persuded me!

Dont like it that much: it just the best all around $50 cooler IMO (the other contender is prolly the Zalman 9500 but it costs $5 for ballpark the same performance). For sub $50 i reccomend the Freezer64 Pro (used to reccomend the Freezer64) and for power users, I reccomend the Big Typhoon + Lapping kit or even Thermalright XP90c + badass fan ... then again people buying lapping kits or XP90c's dont usually ask for reccomendations.

Any Suggested Changes?

My box posted in #4 will outdo that
