Thanks for the info. I wouldn't buy OCZ either.
How much cheaper is the E8300? It's only 166 MHz slower so if it's considerably cheaper...
If your planning on using a single Graphics card check out the new Abit IP35 pro XE, similar to the well respected IP35 Pro but has 1600 fsb supported. If you need built in wifi then I would go for the P5K premium wifi.
The E8400 seems to be very good value.

I have been madly studying PC components for the last few week and these are my thoughts for a single GPU solution.
BUMP!

I've found another Hungarian site, where the prices are quite cheap...
I can't find a proper PSU here, so here the brands go what they have.

I think a 450W min. would be fairly enough for the following, also found here..:

Asus P5K-E Wifi mobo
ASUS GF 8800 GT 1GB DDR3 Glaciator extra cooling
Core2 Duo E8400 3.0/6M/1333 BOX
DDR2 RAM 4 GB/800 DDR2 GEIL KIT Black Dragon 800+ CL4
HDD Samsung 500/SATA2/16M (HD501LJ T166)

Which PSU do you guys recommend?
#30 - Jakg
Odin's are good...
Ok, thanks.
Well, I'm about buying 8800gt 1Gb, because it's price is good, and pretty fast. I've heard that ATI 4850 is out etc... Would it worth forgetting the 8800gt and buying a 4850? As I have ATi card now, I wanna change to Nvidia. Problably the 8800gt is the best choice from Nvidias.... IDK.

What do you think?
8800GT is a bit old now, if i was you, i would wait for the ATi 4870 or 4850s' revision (their original coolers aren't good enough), or another solution, buying 4850 + some better fan. 4850s have now very good price and good performance.
