personally, i would get the normal P5Q Pro board, a Corsair PSU like the 520HX, and i might go with an Antec 300 for a budget build such as this. i dunno i just never like to shell that much out on a case without some seriously banging insides to go with it...

most important change would be the power supply though, please don't get that Rosewill.

it's good though, best of luck.

aight well will the 520hz have the same power as the 600 watt rosewill? and about the case I like the 900 the size isnt really that much bigger its just the fact of the speaker,the side window and the extra fans that it comes with is why I like it, ok well will the p5q pro support ddr800 memory being its ddr1200 recommended. I was thinking it will it will just recognize it as a slower mhz ram and not push as fast, and also it will be over my budget if I get the pro mobo being its $140.

Very valid points.

The P5Q Pro performs like a charm.
PC&C / Corsair power supplies are longer lasting, safer, more reliable, and built better than ANY psu that comes with ANY case [unless its an aforementioned brand ]
And the case really doesnt matter too much unless you're lanning with it. Just get something thats sightly and sturdy.

Best of luck.
