Hey everyone,

Im very close to finalising my build and I am hoping to get some comments and advice. This build is hoping to have some sort of long life expectancy. I dont want to upgrade pretty much at all and I want to keep it close to $2200 as possisible. This build is $2400 so where can I downgrade without losing to much performance.

Antec 850W Quattro $227 - psu

Intel E8400 $239 - cpu (overclocking 4GHZ)

Nvidia 9800 GX2 $737 - vga

S775 MSI P7N Platinum $319 - mobo

Patriot 2X2 $138 - ram

Seagate 500GB $158 - hdd

Samsung 20X DVD/RW $39 - dvd/rw

Zalman 9700NT $70 - cpu fan

Zalman Super Compound $7 - thermal compound

Samsung 226BW $341 - monitor

Wind Vista Ultimate 64 $FREE - operating system

you need vista 64 to fully use the 4 gb and 2x2gb is better.
