NEW System Build - Suggestions!

[[Dr. V]]

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6550
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L or ASUS P5K series OR any good overclocking mATX board (I might make this my TinyBEAST in the LanBox I got - thanks again Capp)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 or OCZ REAPER DDR2-800 2GB initially and I'll add another 2GB soon enough
Video Card: X1650PRO (for now at least I can run COD4 and newer games and still play them - this way I save money on getting a low-end video card after I sell my system and can spend more on the other more important parts)
HDD: Most likely gonna grab another 250GB and then add a 500GB later on
DVDRW: LG 20x SATA LightScribe
PSU: I'm looking at the Enermax Liberty 620W - great price at $119.99 CAD and modular goodness
HSF: I'm gonna go for the Thermaltake V1 most likely, or CNPS9500
Case: DISREGARD - even if I decide not to go for my LanBox, I'll get a case somehow don't worry

I'll have some links and prices up later on, but all in all I want to try to keep it below $900 CAD including taxes. I know this can be done.

If you have some other suggestions, TigerDirect.ca - Computer Parts, PC Components, Computers & Electronics or Canada Computers - Your Neighbourhood Computer Store and Service Centre - PC Systems and Hardware Components, Notebooks, Electronics, and more. is where I'm buying from.

THANKS!

Very nice job YH, thanks.

It seems like I may just try NCIX for once. The only thing on that list would be the video card - I'd still rather save as much as I can because it's gonna be useless to me eventually. And for the DVD Burner I'll definitely go LG or Lite-On, 20x. The RAM I like I like...but REAPER or BALLISTIX is my RAM.

In terms of the motherboard - YES!!! It's the one I wanted but it wasn't available anywhere - same goes for the HSF!

Not to mention that would bring me over budget. I'll do some reconfiguring soon enough.

Thanks!
