I finished off my ordering, and the rest should be arriving on Tuesday. My set up looks like:

Case - Antec 300
CPU - Core 2 Duo E8400
Motherboard - Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
RAM - GSkill 4G DDR2 800
PSU - Corsair 750W
Graphics card - Sapphire Radeon 4850 512MB (apparently this dropped to 10 bucks after I purchase it -_-)
HDD - Western Digital 500G 7200RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
OS - Windows Vista 64 bit home premium

This will be fun putting it all together. Lets just hope there are no dead pieces.

And to overclocking, I'll give it a shot. If the performance is significantly better, I'll do it. About OCing though, should I get a new CPU fan and add any other case fans? I've been told the Intel cpu fan isn't that great for OCing.
