Wasn't sure if you needed a psu or not, so I included one.

I'd probably opt for this given the requirements which isn't too far removed from what Goodeh came up with but the motherboard is, I believe, more suited to the 6600 and above chips as it uses the 975 chipset.

Corsair make psu's now?!

And I defenitely agree with the mobo change, not sure what i was thinking

EDIT: Darn, I meant to remove the socket 478 one, when I accidently clicked it, must have slipped my mind, ta.

Yep and pretty awesome ones by all accounts, 3x12v rails with lots of amps and very stable, I think they might be contracting another company to manufacture on their behalf but I can't remember who.

No worries about the rest, the amount of times I've forgotten something while putting together a specification is unreal
