Default Ayuda con Core i5 buildzor

Okay sexy friends, I finally accumulated $850 thanks to a half-assed sale, and I'm eying the Core i5, or rather have been decided on it for quite some time. Ideas for a Core i5 semi-gaming build? I'm pretty much dead-set on the ATCS 840 Silver, but everything else is a guessing game.
Specs planned:
Core i5 750
Gigabyte UD3R
4GB Trident 2000
1TB F3 (plus 2 I already have)
StealthXStream 700W
H50
ATCS 840 Silver
4830
Total: $775

Ideas? I just want something for surfing the internet. My Phenom II was too slow.

You're kidding me. I surf the internet with an E2140 and it can do everything perfectly.

Your internet connection is slow.

EDIT: Now I know your trolling. You said your 3.8 Ghz quad core and GTX 275 is slow. You also want to downgrade your GTX 275 to a 4830, and your 8GB DDR3 to 4GB DDR3.

I'm your senior member to you and I command you to think.
How exactly does 4GB rather than 8 and a 4830 make any difference whatsoever in browsing? My internet is far from slow; 39 down, 12 up. My Phenom II was just painful to use, just like my 940 BE, and just like my 9850. Since the majority of my programs require number crunching power and a good hard drive controller, 790GX/FX just isn't a good platform for me; everything feels MUCH more snappy on my dad's cheapo Q9550 system. And I hate calculating Super Pi 30%+ slower than ancient Intel processors clock-for-clock, and seeing the Intel logo in games. It's bloody lame and it makes me rage. I'm just here trying to see if any of you would change anything about the build. If you all want to be Domo-Kun's, I will gladly abandon this thread.

Edit: Also, I want the ATCS 840. Having a case like that will make everything better. That and the H50, which I fell in love with.

It's the hard drive controller on my particular motherboard really... Vista takes forever to boot up, I can't load more than one thing at once... I have spiky HD Tune performance with top-notch HDD's... I'm just eliminating all the countless performance issues I've had with "quality" Phenom and Phenom II systems and going for the big guns... I've always been extremely happy with my Intel rigs, and I like not using a kajillion volts to overclock 800MHz.

Also, it's PhII, not PII. PII is a Pentium 2.
