this is now 4 u non overclocking newbies ! :P

dont get the Gigabyte 965p-ds3, get the 965p-ds3P. make sure it is a "P" version cos the box looks almost identicle. it is around the same price and has onbaord raid, ATi xfire [dodgy version but it still works ie 16x + 16x slot at 4x] and also firewire, and EVEN BETTER it has pretty much all the ds3 problems fixed ! hello - did u get that last bit !

in a little while [sometime very soon] intel will release a newer version of the E6300 and E6400 and they will both have 4mb of L2 cache ! they will be named E6320 and E6420. i would suspect they will be slightly dearer but well worth it! the extra 2mb of L2 cache. it certainly improves performnace ! a little for some things and a lot for others. ie like 3% or up to 25%.

that gf8800gts i would presume it is the 340mb version. its very cheap but !

yes i noticed that ! good chioce ther scummy! definately a better board

it would have to be just about the best 965 board ther is ! it overclocks spectacularly, stable as a rock, is very fast at default settings [and overclocked] , has just about all the features u can get, and it is a very good price! basically i want one for myself! :D

your tutor is here waiting on standby! ;)

i opted for the 8800 gts golden sample vid card as well (extra $24)
so it should be a nice system
the latest atomic mag has a cor2 mobo shootout and the mobo got a "hot" award .
not too bad for the price
should have it in bout 5 days i hope
just in time for S.T.A.L.K.E.R, CRISIS,ET QUAKE WARS, HELLGATE muhahahahaha
