Hes only buying one card, which should be fine with that proc.
Get the ep35 ds3 board. Then get an AAKS hard drive.

I would recommend something more like this.

The things I changed:
  • The PSU is more powerful, and costs less than the PSU you linked earlier (despite the lower wattage rating).
  • The motherboard is the best you can get for under $100.
  • The HDD holds 140GB more, and is one of the fastest drives for the money.

If you mean get a aftermarket CPU heat sink then yes. The stock one is a PoS and you will want anything better if you're going to overclock your CPU.

I personally recommend this one because it's the best you can get for $50 or less.

Even though the quad core might not be necesary, i though it would be more future proof so i chose it...im not getting comp till late June anyways so any comments would be great.
