I would have gone with the ATI 9800NP. I have one in my system and it is smokin' fast with all the FPS's I play.

Sup dawg Im new too, but your specs look just fine. The 9600 will OC great. Sounds like you have a nice little budget gaming rig there - should work out great. What OS you gonna run XP Pro/Home? SHould be easy as pie and ready to fly

If you have an OS install hang, just pull the jumper on the western digital HD, it aorks better when you have ony one HD on the primary IDE this way.

I have a 9600 Pro in my other rig - /me likes easy to overclock close to 9500 Pro, or 9700 non Pro levels - great Dx9 support. Great image quality. Have fun buiding -

I was going to go with the 9800 NP first but then i downgraded to 9600 for the Antec case and the sblive. The whole rig cost me 750 and i say thats not bad. Haha. I was going to get the 9600 128mb for 174 and then i found the 256 for 5 bucks more! What a deal! And yea im going to run XP Pro.

-oh and does anyone have any idea how this system will run on Doom 3? Im really excited about that game.

If you OC your 9600 your should be able to run FTB (full tilt boogie) meaning, all eye candy on , or nearly all of it (4xa/a, and 8xa/f) should work nice, You mobo should be fine. Looks good.
