none of your links work.

I'd wait until Black Friday before purchasing anything.

ATI 4870 is a much better video card


and maybe bump to the E8600 those can overclock to 4.0ghz by simply bumping two values in the bios >>>>> (bump up the cpu host clock and change the ram to 1:1 ratio) no cpu voltage increase needed !

thats hard to pass-up
