Thanks for the suggestion! Lol ya I just read the thread and got a good idea of what I want...which is to game well now...and if something comes out later that I cant run: Upgrade to Quad later. I want a BUDGET system, not a system of the future. (Which will be outdated within a month lol) So I believe I will go with the E8500.
Hah! Our planned builds are pretty much the same! Except your Graphics Card KILLS my HD Radeon 4870 512mb. Lol. But ya, I was wondering about Motherboards...yours is 15 dollars less than the one I had in mind Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards and I'd rather go 15 dollars less. But I was wondering if your mobo came with all the required hookups and cords... (It seemed a little short on the wiring.)
