Sorry for making another thread but as the other one is kinda long it's not getting anymore answers and i have about 16 hours before i have to order everything. I will be deleting the questions answered.

Ok so these are hopefully my last questions:

IS the artic cooler 7 worth 32$ if im not going to overclock my Q9400?

How does this lookhttps://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=9667845 I just need to add a Cooler MAster 690 + Q9400.

Is everything alright? ( As in compatible and nothing else in its price range destroys it?)

Is it worth going from ddr2 800 to ddr2 1066. The jump is about 30$. Worth it? Was thinking this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227289

In this video at around 23 seconds what is that? Is that some kind of fan control? Anyone know what kind? it looks BA.

Are fan controls necessary? And i've been already told that i don't really need additional fans on my CM690 but does any feel that i do? I feel like adding 2 120mm fans on the empty slots on the top w/ blue led idk if its necessary or not.

Can anyone give me/ direct me to a guide that explains everything i have to do after i build it. From Bios config to Fan/Heat Programs, os installation, driver installation and benchmarking/any other programs i need to know about.

And the last question:Which one of these motherboardsis the best://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128372 , http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128358or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128359. And is the 115$ worth the 15$ jump?

Drop the Gtx 260 and grab a HD4890 for 20$ more. Which when overclocked beats a GTX280.

Alright but does 1680 x 1050 still give beutifull graphics, cuz i don't want to waste a HD4890.

Ok so these are hopefully my last questions:

IS the artic cooler 7 worth 40$ if im not going to overclock my Q9400?

How does this look https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=9667845 I just need to add a Cooler MAster 690 + Q9400.

Is everything alright? ( As in compatible and nothing else in its price range destroys it?)

Whats a good armband that i should get? Any Specifics? Or are they all the same?

If the Artic Cooler isn't worth the 40$ if i don't overclock do i need Thermal Paste or does the Stock Fan have some pre-applied? Was reading thru the product and i found "IntelĀ® designed thermal solution (Fan, Heatsink)" . So im guessing this mean's it's pre-applied and that means i wouldn't need to buy any.

For the HD4890 I'm basically deciding between the Xfx model and Saphhire. What do you think?

Something else i discovered is that the Cm690 only has 3 of the 7 possible fans. Should i get fans for the other possible places? If so any specific brands?

In this video at around 23 seconds what is that? Is that some kind of fan control? Anyone know what kind? it looks BA.

And the last question: Is the motherboard there better then this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128372.

And thanks for everyone who's helped so far.

anyone? sorry but im in a somewhat of a hurry. I want the parts ordered as soon as poossible. Um thanks but the first one is over and the second one is under. I'm looking for the 180-220$ Price range. And a question, Does just because a moniter provide higher resolutions mean its better? Cuz i always thought that 1680 x 1050 was bad and that 1920 x 1200. Was the way to go, well atleast with a card as powerful as mine?
