Thank ya bossman :)

I'll be in and out for a few months. Been confined to using the computers at my local library.
Took advice from a buddy of mine and decided to build my computer one part at a time.

Picked up my new case last week:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811146018

This month {after i buy my HDTV :) } I'll pick up the power supply and the motherboard.
But all is looking well, miss MMO's and FPS-- Can't wait to come back and help contribute.

I would finnish the computer first.
I just d/l all the TV shows I want via torrent and see them an hour befor they are on TV my time!

If you want the BIG SCREEN get a projector (20% of the cost of a HDTV) and all the shows on the internet are in HD.

Yeh pussy is good.
Well good news about it taking awhile to get your parts is those Optrons like I use are about $77 now!

Buy the gfx card last and the 8800 will be about $300 at that piont.
I see people that have them  and OC AMD4200+ and the cpu is the bottleneck!!!

You can also use the 8800 to drive the HDTV.

SLI 8800's are a BIG waste of money....NO cpu out can not be bottel necked by ONE of them no matter the OC.

As for upgrading your CPU...don't get a new MB to run the Core Due yet.
Save the money for 4 -6 months for native AMD 4 core if you most upgrade.
Your DFI Expext MB will handle it.

Myself I have same MB and looking at the Optron 152 in 939 pin. Best bang for the buck!
