I just build my own system which I want to order it tomorrow or monday, since all these prices expire on 3 July (they are slightly discounted vs original price)! I'm constrain with my budget so I actualy did want to get my rig around 1000$

What do you think about this system? Will all this be compatible? What about the motherboard? It's the only P35 I found, and unfortunately it only has 1 x16 PCIE, the other one is x4. Also the IDE connecter is way to the bottom of the mobo, so I am almost sure I will have problem hooking up my DVD-Rom.


P4 E6600

Asus P35 mobo - read some reviews says it's a bit unstable, don't know exactly if this is a good choice especialy that I do plan to overclock in the future once when newer games will start to be even more demanding

Corsair 2GB 800mhz 4-4-4-12 - 40$ mail in rebate as well til July 1st, thats why it's important to order by tomorrow if I am going to

OR
OCZ 2GB 800mhz 4-4-4-15 - 50$ mail in rebate. This is about 30$ cheaper than the corsair. But is it worth it considering it has the tRAS higher with 3 units? (Don't really know what is the difference performance wise when gaming)

So which one would be the best RAM option between the 2?


Seagate 500Gb 7200RPM SATA II 16MB Cache

The case + 450W PSU

OR
The PSU 500W
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku...mp;promoid=1055
(For the record I can use the same case I use for my current spec, so it's an option)


Please advise about this system. Is everything compatible? Is it overcloakable? (I have 0 knowledge about overcloaking but I can start studying later)

Thanks friends  ;D

You'll love the performance of that CPU...
If you are unsure of the MBoard don't buy it...
I've never bought or used OCZ but i have plenty of Corsair ....stick with that...
Nice HDD...consider a smaller less expensive SATA for storage as a second drive...

The case and power supply are great reference articles on HTTP protocols...
