it should fly...

also with that type of Corsair memory, you will be leaving treadmarks in the carpet.

Now all you need is a Sony DVD-RW and an Antec case.... and floppy too..

thanks for the reply. forgot to mention that i do have an Antec case (1040), a floppy drive and a rebadged Lite-on 52x48x52 CD burner which me cost me $20 courtesy of Staples.

All of those brands are rock solid reliability wise, and pretty speedy to boot... Only question is what type of chipset that board runs... you should stick with intel chipsets for P4 systems IMO...

Looks like you've done your homework well, my friend

where are you getting these from, if I might ask?

the Asus p4p800 mobo uses the Intel 865PE (Springdale) chipset.

Sannop, I'm getting the monitor from http://www.techonweb.com, the CPU from Staples(yes, Staples sells components). Staples wanted $235 for that chip, BUT i price matched them to Newegg which brought the price down to $165, then used a $30 off $150 coupon which can easily be found on the internet. everything else i am buying from http://www.newegg.com they have decent prices, fast delivery and outstanding customer service.
