+ 1 for the MSI, ive got the same cooler on this MSI 8800GT:

Newegg.com - MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

runs 58C on load with room temp of 75C, idles low 40's.

if your room temp is 75c you must live in a kitchen....

 

[gurusan]

a kitchen? you mean an oven .

lol I think he meant 75F

pretty sure that's all you need as long as you already have a keyboard/mouse/monitor/speakers or headphones

That's a solid setup man. Best of luck putting her together.

two questions guys. I heard the intel processor comes with a cooling fan. I wont be Overclocking, will the cooling fan that comes with it be sufficient enough?

i heard the motherboard gurusan has suggested me might have problems... any after thoughts on that?

If you don't plan on overclocking the stock cooler that comes with the E8400 will be fine. The P5q Pro gurusan recommended is a great motherboard and I have never heard of any problems with it.

Code " SAVECAMP0908A " is suppose to drop $15 off the case. If that doesn't work go here and get it for $40 Antec Three Hundred ATX Computer Case - THREE HUNDRED - Buy.com

Also I personally highly recommend overclocking that cpu but if your sure your not going to then the stock cooler is fine. You could always put a better one on later if you decide to overclock.

Nagasama made a mistake, he actually meant to link this card instead.

Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 1032 Radeon X300SE 512M (32M on board) 64-bit DDR PCI Express x16 Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

I had a look just for a laugh, and just read the newegg review of it... "Crysis on high at 1920x1200 and 2x AA + vsync runs 30fps (OC'ed to 780 core, 1090 memory.)"

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
