Everything That I dont mention is good.

Case: Antec 900 is the same price and it looks better. Better reviews too!

CPU: Core 2 Quad are pointless. Go for the E8400 

MOBO: Don't know all the varieties, but I know you can't go wrong with the P45. Leaves room to upgrade to DDR3

RAM: Good, but you can find a better price

GPU: 8800GT is the same price, but it scores better on the performance tests. Don't get fooled by the shiny 9. I did.

Quad isn't pointless. Depends what you are doing with your PC. if your not going to overclock id go for an e8400 though...

Well a faster dual is better for gaming than a slower dual but that fc2 deal almost makes it worth getting the quad, but the fact you will end up spending more on the quad make it pretty pointless.  get a e8xx it will be cheap and faster (not that the quad wont be enough) 

swap the 9600gt for a 9800gt or 4850

ok so I did this modificatons to my cart list

GPU--- http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814130319

Case- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021

MOBO-http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3761586&CatId=2050

CPU--http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115017

Im going to leave the CPU a quad but is going to be a Q6600 (since the Q8200 for some reason is not compatible with the 750i mobo) because I know im going to be multitasking alot and probably this is going to be my last PC in like 5 years so im pretty sure that 3 yars from know quads are going to be the best way to go also I dont like P45 chipsets because most of them are Xfire wish I dislike..But I think that this mobo is going to to the job done really well. aslo I want to know how well would it be to get another 8800GT and if it would make a significant difference
