I'm sorry for taking so long to reply .. School started so I've had little time to much of anything .. ? .. I hope I haven't come across as one of those post-n-go persons, that is not my intention at all .. I appreciate your help (everyone) and hope to help others in the future as well .. okay .. well I've got a few changes to my system .. I got this processor :

.. as for a motherboard .. this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131540

.. I paid 465 us dollars for both .. I scored them off of a local PC cafe going out of business (both boxed) .. I still have time to return them, so i want to put it together before they close for good .. but before i put it together i was hoping someone would tell me if thats good for a gaming rig .. if not i can go for the what merlin suggested (its cheaper, so ?:-D ) ..

And for the second part of my problem .. the case and cooling devices .. what should I consider when looking for a case (I know the power supply is Important, learned the hard way) .. I was thinking something like this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811144094

.. as for a good cooling device .. I'm not sure ..

.. any suggestions/comments will be appreciated .. thanks in advance
