After a little reading the only thing I am worried about now is fitting the Zalman cooler on this board. I am staying aircooled so if this thing doesn't fit I am going to be all over you guys for another cooler.

Alright. I had to find a new case because newegg just stopped carring the antec 900.

Well I was looking I found that I am streched really thin. Is the Q9300 worth the extra 80.00 dollars over the E8400?

I would only buy a quad if you know you're going to buy games that support quads (or other multi-threaded apps for that matter). There are very few right now, but more are definitely on the horizon.

Honestly, the E8400 is an awesome as hell chip. You just have to do what is right for you.

Adjusted some stuff and got the price down, looking at more then the AMD build still but taking that quad out really did help. Thanks for the help guys I will be getting this soon. I hope.
