    8500 graphics?? If your wanting this for future DX10 releases please don't waste your money, buy an 8800 320mb at least. The 8600 is blown away by te likes of the 1950pro

    don't forget to get a decent branded PSU, maybe consider a different HSF to the stock on the CPU (presuming you are getting retail - if you are getting OEM you'll need to anyhow), and let us know how you get on. Are you going for SATA connections? Also, what RAM are you thinking of? There's tons to choose from. If you need help, just let us know what you want the machine for and how likely you are to want to overclock in the future etc, and I'm sure one of these kind gents will give you some advice.

    Otherwise, I rate your computer as 5
    Antec 900 ~ Asus P5B Deluxe (1.4 bios) ~ E6600 (stock) ~ Scythe Ninja~ EVGA 8800GTS (640Mb, 1700MHz, 576MHz) (NVidia 100.59) ~ Corsair TwinX 2GB Dominator ~ 2x250gb Seagate SATA ~ Seasonic 600w ~ Vista Premium 64 ~ Logitech G15 & G7

    A note pon your keyboard, got the Sitek illuminated Gamers jobbie for my bro.

    As it was illuminated he was hoping to use it the dark to play games, if you are wnting to to do the same, I wouldn't get this keyboard.

    It has avery good features:

    Good keys
    An extra programmable pad which is very good.

    However the, keys are illuminated, but only around the edges, in the dark u can't see what is on each key! So it while it looks pretty its not very useful Their gamers mouse is superb tho
    The only two tools you will ever need
    If it moves and it shouldn't - Duct Tape
    If it doesn't move and should - WD40
