Why such a high clock on the proc.? Why not just get a lower speed and OC it.? Just a thought if you dont' want to tahts cool., otherwise your setup is nice. Only thing is maybe Crucial Ballistix memory if you can afford it.

I would get better quality ram. I had to return 2 gigs of Value Select because it caused problems with my computer. I'd go for 2 gigs of Corsair XMS ram. It costs more but works great.

Get a full sized case. It will allow for better air exchange. More fans.

And there is nothing wrong with your CPU. You will see in the next year less and less support for 3200-3800 as dual core technology advances.
Plus the san diego core is pretty good for OC.

TOTALLY. i had corsair value select, and it was CRAP. kept getting memory read errors. got some kingston and it was FINE.


MAKE SURE!!!!:::: make sure to check the RAM compatibility list of the motherboard you're going to get. corsair wasn't on the list for my Asus.
