I'm going to redo my system when the E4300 is available, the E6300 if the E4300 is not available though. I chose the Asus P5N-E SLI mobo, a Zalman CNP9500, I already have one 8800GTS at the moment and I'll probobly go with another one when I get another monitor if this is possible.(Would it be possible for me to buy a second 19" Sony monitor(1280 by 1024) then use them both side by side in games for a res something like 2560 by 1024 or is dual monitor support in games impossible?) If that is possible, then I'll buy a second 8800GTS for the high res. As for the PSU I'll probobly get a 700watt OCZ power supply with quad 12v rails. What do you think of those parts? Thanks.

Isn't the P5B series based on Intel's 965 chipset? If so thats crossfire not SLI.

get the E6300 and wait for the E4300 later on this year.

the 8800 graphics card should be on hold until you get the E4300 to a +3GHz overclock because Tom's H suggested highend parts before getting an 8800 which I could clearly see because you might save a few bucks. overall, pricing on an 8800 probably won't change too much in time that the E6400 is finally out. so that's completely upto you.

make sure you have DDR800+

700w OCZ should be fine

get the monitor you want. but if you want to buy another monitor, consider selling what you already have to get a bigger screen, personally, gaming sucks on two monitors apart for increased resolution.

zalman is a good choice for cooling

No, it's based on the 650i chipset.
My mistake, it's the P5N-SLI.
