Looks fine... as for a case, Check out the Antec 300.. cheap and its nice... also Coolermaster Elite 330, Coolermaster 690
 
I don't know anything about motherboard other than the ep35-ds3p but.....

I don't know who I heard it from, But the DFI motherboards suck.

I believe it was luke, a very techie guy.
 
dfi mobo r sick, biostar are good and gigabyte. get the ds3r p45. why not spend a bit more and get the 4870 instead of the 4850 since u got quad and everything else is great.

if i had the money i gladly would put out the extra money for a 4870 but im on a tight budget so unless i can find a great deal on the 4870 i think im gonna stick to the 4850.


Although i could go a lil cheaper on the monitor adn get this one link so id have a lil extra to get the 4870
 
Another question since ill be doing mostly gaming on this computer should i go with the E8400 instead of the Q6600? i will be doing school work photoshop and video editing on it but id say 80% of the time will be gaming.
