is where I buy computer stuff, they susally have good prices. also: www.ncix.com
I'd go for the price, I don;t think a 8800ultra is a good deal, the 8800gtx or 640mb GTS should be lots of video card fo a while.

Thanks very much, glad to have another site to check against. Good prices too, I have the feeling I'll be buying more there than anywhere else. I don't think there's much point in trying to find any more German sites - it's always more expensive. The only place I'd be able to save would be shipping.www.directcanada.com

Do I need to add my own USB ports/hardware, or will the case usually already contain them?
EDIT: Another question. Is the EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS Superclocked / 640MB GDDR3 / SLI Ready / PCI Express / Dual DVI / HDTV compatible with the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Atx LGA775 Conroe P965 DDR2 PCI-E16 3PCI-E1 3PCI SATA2 Gblan Audio motherboard? In other words, is the motherboard PCI Express?

Most motherboards come with all that stuff. You can always add a USB hub if you need more.
Without a doubt, But with all that high end hardware i would not use that cheap Mobo.In other words, is the motherboard PCI Express?

So, basically, any motherboard that says PCI-E(number) is compatible? Great, that helps, thanks.![]()

With what you have I would recomend one of these 5 Mobos
P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe
P5W DH Deluxe
P5WDG2-WS Professional
P5B Deluxe
P5B
I had a P5B on my last pc with a e6400 now I have a P5W DH Deluxe with an E6600 . Its great. Has Wifi and a great sound card. As far as USBs go it has 8 x USB 2.0
2 x Firewire 400

With what you have the extra $100 is well worth it. If you want to run dual vid cards though I will recomend you another mobo.

I don't need to buy a sound card if I buy the P5B Deluxe, right?
