I would of replaced the motherboard with the MSI P6N SLI-FI. But that's just me. And I'd get the Seagate 7200.10 320gb HD, instead. Also the e6420 is the better choice. It's basically the same price, with 2mb more cache.

crap... i thought i put a e6420, and a seagate.... i just assumed it would pick those up when i searched... whoops....

I agree..looks great except I'd avoid the ECS and get the MSI that b1gapl mentioned
Newegg.com - MSI P6N SLI-FI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

or This
Newegg.com - ABIT Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

or this
Newegg.com - ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

All of those are good boards but I personally have only heard nothinbg but good things about the P6N regular and the fact that I hate paying for Fatal1ty's name.

I personally like the 650i chipset over the 965 becuase of how cheap you can get a well made board that overclocks well.

 

[b1gapl]

lol....I also get tired of recommending the DS3, so many times. 650i is in..

 

[Sora]

Yes I wanted to say the same thing. The DS3 is still a great board but it had it's fun and the MSI P6N with minor tweaking can reach very high overclocks as well, handles heat better, supports more RAID, and supports SLI all for 120 bucks. That's a steal lol
