So after switching too the quad core processor you guys dont forsee any compatability problems? Gonna stick with the MSI motherboard because it has 2 PCI - E x 16 slots incase i ever want to go Sli.

only thing i would change is make the HDD seagate 7200.10 or 7200.11, you want a reliable drive
everything else looks great
i gotta check quick on the gfx card to see if you can save $100 for a better one
brb
:edit:
they're pretty evenly matched, i suggest getting a G92 GTS

Alright ya twisted me arm, i changed the hard drive too the seagate

Sticking with the GTX though because of the widescreen thing.

ya the gtx still takes crown at 1920x1200 and up.. which is why i went for the purchase not too long ago

gtx will always be better for higher res due to the more memory it has. i would really stick to a 22" and get a gts G92 because ull soon realise the price leap from 22 to 24 isnt nice on the pocket.

not just more memory but its 320 or whatever bit interface as well

I really do have my eye on that 24inch screen though. I'm a university student and after one term of watching movies/TV on a laptop screen i'm ready for something a little flasher

Got some 7.1 speakers ready and gonna try grab a nice sound card in the sales, so i should have a good movie set up going.
