Keyboard: Logictech G11
Monitor: Hanns G HW-223DPB 22''
Media drive: Sony 20X DVD+_R DVD burner with 12x dvd ram patamodel DRU840A
Lube: AS5 oem
Cooler: Artic cooling freezer pro 7
RAM cooler: Corsair CMAXF1 (do I need it for overclocking)
Soundcard: Xtreme Gamer sound card (Too costly right now)

Nice rig mate.

If you want good ram coolers that are not costly, go for the Corsair Dominator ones, excellent.

Is the mobo I choose as good as the P5k and the P5k-E, i mean does it overclock and perform stable?

Thanks,

It should be ok, most Asus boards are made for overclocking.

I like Newegg as much as anybody, but I bought 75% of my build from Zipzoomfly. Better prices, no shipping charges, no taxes.

really free shipping and no taxes, how long does shipping take reputable, and customer service good? restocking fees?

Newegg are very reputable, some of my buds in the US would not buy their components from anywhere else.

Good delivery times and the customer service is excellent.

Tigerdirect.com is good also. Tigerdirects prices are slightly more expensive than most of newegg, but if you live in California you pay sales tax on Newegg and not on tigerdirect. So for me Tigerdirect was cheaper. Both of those sites shipped their product very fast for me.

Nevermind, my build is about 1800ish with the 8800gt card.

I shopped around using pricegrabber and trying to buy from reputable builders and came out with 1693 total including the card if it was in stock.
