Granite Bay... Do I need it for games.....

[neoro]

Hi there..
.here are the specs which I plan to get....
Its mainly used for Games...

Intel Pentium 4 2.53GHz - will get the 3.06 when its a lot cheaper... or if a 2.8 Comes out with HT
Gigabyte 8INXP - Granite Bay
Kingston 512MB PC2700 CL2.5 X2 - Set to PC2100 CL2
Western Digital SE 40GB
Sound Blaster Live 5.1
Enermax 430Watts PSU..
Generic Case...

Ok... I just want some opinions for the Motherboard... Do i need Granite Bay to get the extra 2.1GB/s bandwidth for gaming or Should i Opt for the Asus p4pe....??
y.... the casing and ram... Its hard to find premium stuff here...
I read a few reviews from the net... Motherboard.org in particular stating that this board (Gigabyte 8INXP) is a superb board.. But... the same question Comes again!!... I'm a casual gamer... Do i need it...
Opinions are appreciated....

The P4PE is a fine board and there is no telling how much longer
Granite Bay is going to stall before it is on the shelves.

Whether you are a casual gamer or not those components should
be more than fine as long as you compliment it with a good video
card.
