I am thinking of building a new computer based on the budget build from the system building marathon that just happened. However I would like to increase the power of it slightly. I have a budget of 1500 that doesn't include a monitor but does include everything else like a mouse and keyboard etc. I will OC and it will be used for gaming. Thx for looking at my thread :D

looks good thanks for the help. However I just have one more question. Do you think that a MSI P6N Platinum mobo would be ok as it has SLI and I would think that would be better and has the same good overclocking features and is about the same price. What do you think? (also I am going up to a 700W PSU OCZ Technology GameXStream 700W Power Supply which is only $40 more) :sol:
PS I know I am going above $1500 but hopefully these future-proof my build at bit more ;)
