I'd recommend the GA-P35-DS3R instead of the GA-P35C-DS3R.

Nice setup. Why not get the Ultra since is just about the same price?

 

[Indobos]

Whats the difference between the p35 and the p35C?

 

[aetherh4cker]

The P35C supports DDR3 RAM, which doesn't seem like it is going to be popular any time soon.

 

[aetherh4cker]

I'd also recommend a SATA3.0 drive. Don't go with IDE! Ribbon cables make me want to cut my wrists!

agreed with everything ppl have said so far....

especially on the EIDE :0

also why 4gb of RAM? its not really necessary...
