Ordering this weekend, just want an opinion

[toxicity_27]

Well I think I'm going to go with everything in my original post, except for I'm going to change the motherboard to this one; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131070

Anyone have any last minute opinions or facts on it before I order in the next hour or so?

for ram, corsair seems to be the winner... its had zero problems with pretty much every motherboard... and since your not a big overclocker.. i would even drop to ddr 667.. because getting the ram to even run ddr800 is hard.. and requires big voltage (at least on my e6600)...... at 667 with an e6600 thats 3.0 ghz.. and i'm sure that would keep anyone happy.. because that is my daily use clock right there.

Which 667 RAM do you suggest, I just cancelled my order with the 800 so I will be able to change that now.

How about that RAM? I couldn't find any DDR2 667 Corsair.

hrm, your right, i guess they sold out of it.. anyway, ya, g.skill is a very reliable company as well, thats excellent ram for a nice price and should do you more than fine if your not a huge oc'er

Well then what about getting this? It's only a bit more money and it's DDR2800.

EDIT:

Or what about this one;

go with the first one, it can operate at 1.8v which is on the safe side

some mobo's will not boot at 1.9 or 2.0 because they don't come that way, so i would go with the first for sure

Alright, I just ordered it. Thanks for all the help.

Well, we aren't quite talking about the SP-500 Model yet, but for the Antec power supply I suggest look at something else. I personally have one, and it just died on me yesterday, (3-4 months of use), the reviews at New Egg correspond to these warnings. I'm sorry I can't recommend a replacement yet, I'm still looking around myself.

Hope that helps with your build.

i use antec power supplys with all my builds and have yet to have one die on me

imo antec is the best
