Hey, this is the first time i'll be putting together a Newer computer. My other PC is about 5 years old but still runs well, but i've decided to start a build so here are the parts I plan on getting/ or have already...
...Also if you see a part that you think I could get a better performance gain for a bit more money please say

My case - I own a tt armor black but with no side fan because they didnt have that in stock when i purchased one... Could I make a hole and put a 25cm fan there? but a better fan that pushes more air...

CPU ($217) - E6400 2.13ghz C2D http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115004 (yet to be ordered)
Sound Card ($170) - F4t4al1ty FPS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102190 (yet to be ordered)

Memory ($230) GeIL Ultra (2x1gb) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820144028(yet to be ordered)
Power Supply ($180) Pc Power & Cooling 610 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817703005 (yet to be ordered)

Hey, I would suggest getting the e6300, you'll get the same OC at a better price.

Isn't the 965G the one with onboard video?

Also for a video card, I would suggest:
XFX PV-T71G-UCF7 GeForce 7900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI Express x16 Video Card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16814150150R
$199.99
Can't bet the price, hurry though before it goes out of stock!

Yeah it's true that onboard video does hinder your OC, because even with onboard graphics disabled, i think it still gives the chipset more work.

I think you need to contact the place you bought it from and tell them you got the wrong board and I'm sure you can send it back and get the right one without any problems!
