Terrific build. I would however, go with the GTS250 video card, since it is the newest version of the 9800GTX+. If your budget allows, you may even consider the GTX260 core 216.

Thank you so much for your response. I did switch to the GTX260 core 216 and its only 20 dollars more($154.00), so thank you for the suggestion. Woot I just ordered it! Cheers

What is the final total price please?? :)

I'm planning to start from the Build PLUS+ ( in post-it) but with a E8400 as you did :D

And...it's probabably already answered somewhere, but....is the Build PLUS+ up to date? Last update was 05-31-2009

I haven't updated it in a couple of months, but it's still solid. If you want to swap the E7400 with the E8400, I think that would be a great move. You should be able to click on each link and get a current price.
