    it's a good card, comes with a factory OC...

    I'd either get that or the x1800XT for 50$ less... it's argueable but the x1800XT is typically considered a better card in terms of performance(especially if you OC)

    If you have your mind set on nVidia definitely go with a BFG. Much better quality card than either eVGA or XFX.

    Radeon, the x1800XT is a great card but only buy ATI and none of the other brands.

    Currently I have my first nVidia card ever (BFG 7800GTX) and I would have to say in my experience it delivers better quality and performance than ATI as a whole. However, I was more satisfied in games with the Radeon.

    Gskill is the highest quality you can get. just make sure it is compatable with your mobo.

    it is excellent ram, I have some myself and was abel to get it to 261 at stock timings and 2.6V might be able to get even better if I try though, I myself am relatively innexperienced in OCing(by my standards, I know what to do from reading A LOT OF GUIDES I just lack a ton of experience)

    it was better priced when it was 150 though, it might be better to get OCz gold, not sure though.

    as for th motherboard, get the DFI ultra-D or SLI-D, better bang/$

    no reason to get a $200 motherboard. a $100 -> $150 would satisfy just fine. look into the DFI-ultra lanparty, those seem to be popular.
