I was wondering why you chose a Pentium D, rather than a Core 2 Duo E4300, same money - more OCable?

Hi,
Yes you are right it's a better choice for a littel more money...

I'd go with a Geforce 7800 or 7900 if you can afford it. The 7300 is terrible. Newegg ususally has the same card that I have (evga 7800gt) for around $130 or so.

You are... right!
Your video card has a better spec than the one I had in mind, I am getting the:
XFX GeForce 7900 GS XXX / 256MB GDDR3 / SLI / PCI Express / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Card

Any issue with the mob I selected.

Thanks a lot

Sorry I got confuse...
Is this the one you have?
