Corsair has recently updated their build guide. Check it out:

Great guide for those who has around $1500 to work with on a new PC.

No sticky. But it would fit nicely in the Help Build A FAQ Guide! :)

Stunning guide :) Very similar build to mine, minus a few components...great intro to OC'ing and great benches...A sticky would be great, but it's getting bookmarked regardless :) Bravo!

While the effort on the guide is nice it is certainly not a guide I would praise. 

1)1 Selection of parts.  Main complaints are the ram selection but its cool as Corsair was configuring the guide.  2) Good Ol P5N-E.  Anyone with the board know he should have stuck the ram in the back slots.  Further more, the board as of now is pretty much defective.  You will not be running any ram @ 800mhz if your using all slots.  2 Gigs is the standard now for the enthusiast with the extreme market migrating to 4 gigs with the welcoming of Vista.  This board just isn't a good road path right now even for the price point they are staying in.  4 gigs @ $220 http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=T6UX2GC5&c=fr&pid=85a49a664a235932a18e9e84f71d373b23a76e3f97c8c2be2ce76a7430d7c27d and still would have saved money.  The pics and details are pretty nice otherwise.
