Here is what I have so far, if anyone could make further suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Exactly, I think p5n-d is very good (cheap and good to overclock, im on one comp that got it atm) but its SLI and not crossfire.

I suggest nvidia. 9800gt's are very cheap, and they are rape.

Sorry, what do you mean by intel mobo?
This is my first computer that I'm building on my own, and the parts were selected by myself and a friend. Why do you recommend nvidia? I was told that Ati cards are cheaper at the moment, so it would be better to go with ati.

Btw do you really want to spend that much money on that CPU?
Why not get a Q6600+ watercooling set and overclock it to 3.5ghz+? |
haha, I wasn't sure what you guys mean by "mobo".
Is it something really obvious? I'm slow some times lol.
But since this is my first home build system, I don't really want to go into overclocking, I'm not sure how it's done and I want to avoid screwing up at all costs.

haha, thanks.
So, I want to change the "Mobo" to an intel based one, and get a nvidea card instead? Anything else? I'd consider the q6600 but as I said, I don't like the idea of overclocking.

Ok I'll help a bit.
Get an intel MOBO, not ATI/NVIDIA.
Get an ATI GPU, not NVIDIA.
Take either:
- 4870 (crossfire)
- 4850 (crossfire)
- 4870x2
That CPU is very good, and its very good when your not overclocking also.
Got it at 3 computers.
