wow...you got a nice rig going there, n1gh7. I heard the P5K Deluxe is the best motherboard, to overclock a quad core.

From the list that Invisible gave, choose the Crucial Ballistix. Price can't be beat, for the performance, this set of RAM gives.

Choose the PC Power & Cooling 610w. Cheaper than the Corsair 620HX, and has legendary status, as a high quality power supply.

The MX518 is all you need.

The Barracuda 500GB is a good choice, for space and a pretty fast 7200rpm drive.

 

[Invisible]

he's still got $300 left....RAID0?

 

[xXDuskXx]

heyyy.......you've got almost the same build as me! i'd say get it, i've had no problems so far

and b1gapl, you're right about it being good for overclocking quads, i've got mine running at 3.8ghz ^_^

 

[b1gapl]

man..I wish I can join the P5K Deluxe club with you guys....but I got the Ultra-120 extreme too...what are you're temperatures?

 

[Deadpixel]

The MX518 is all you need.

MX518, the only mouse I will buy.

58c load, i could probably get it lower with my 2 vantec tornadoes blowing at 100%


edit: i'm going to see in a few days if i can get it to run at 4 ghz stable
