    Here is what appears to be the final configuration. I sticking with the processor, mem, and mobo. Is there anything physically wrong with this set up? If not, I will submit my order in case the processor gets in early. I did go over budget by $45.95 though. :-( 220136 Logitech Cordless...

    What about the OCZ OCZ52012U ModStream ATX 2.0 520W Power Supply? It is listed on DFI-Street as " very good... & .. recommended." when dealing with the nForce4 Ultra.

    No matter what, I need to wait because the 4800 won't be avail through them until 8/20. I guess my logic is this: People say buy lower processor and oc it to be better than the higher one. Since I don't know how to overclock, that doesn't help me. If I learn to overclock, then my reaction...

    Thanks everyone! Keep 'em coming. I have to say, there is no way I am attempting to build this beast myself. I am just not that handy! I have been looking at different sites (ibuypower, polywell, etc..) and monarch tended to have the best pricing for the parts, hence that is my base, and...

    Thanks for the insight. Money is an issue as I originally set my budget at $2000 and have upped it to a max $2400. :-) Already looking at a different set of Mem (OCZ EL DDR PC-3200 / 400MHz / Platinum / Dual Channel) for $276 :-) Why would I not want SLI for possible future expansion?
