    For what you save and what U're spending would you not be better buying from 1 place, that way they can't accuse another supplier or am I just being paranoid (I'm gonna be doin this in a week or so)?
    For what you're spending, I'd stick with the floppy & 2nd optical, I'd also go with nVidia graphics, you can SLI it later.

    The X800XL is the best midrange GPU out there right now. It trounces the 6600gt, and the only reason to go with Nvidia would be to get the 6800gt, which performs slightly better, but costs more.

    Btw, check out Tekheads 25% off. You could order as much as you can there and save money to upgrade something.

    I am no expert of Ram but can i think this help if you oc, i got a pair of the Corsair and the max i can push is 295 @ 2.9v. And Geil is a decent maker, the ram also is rated at PC3500, so i think it may be better to go with the Geil.

    The Geil seems suspiciously cheap, will it work with the dfi nforce4 ultra, i herd there are issues with some boards.

    So Corsair is the best? Bit sceptical of the Geil, all looks a bit cheap.

    Geil is supposed to be ok, but i'd recommend Corsair any time

    (convenient link to Corsair configurator )
