Hi all, time to upgrade the PC again since I'm getting some stuttering in the latest games. Let me know what you all think about the following build.

CPU: E8400 $130 from mcirocenter
MB: Gigabyte EP45-UD3R $115 -15 rebate newegg
VC: MSI 4890 OC $200 - $20 rebate from ZZF
HD: WD 1TB black $109 zzf
ram: Corsair 4g DDR2 8500 $62 -$30 rebate ZZF
PS: Corsair 520HX $109 - $30 rebate ZZF

I'm keeping DVD drive, 24in LCD monitor, and I usingan Antec P180 case lying around from Fry's sale long time ago. Total around $700 bucks if all the rebate comes back.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Fantastic setup!

the UD3R board is a great! board, I currently am running my Q9650 at 500fsb on that thing!

4890 seems to be a good choice if you are upgrading now, for me, the 4870 will do me fine till the 5870 comes out
