Why are you going for 3 GB RAM? Just fill this so we can suggest you a better config -

10. When are you planning to buy the system?

@ Symbianlover - get NZXT Gamma cabinet @ 2k along with corsair CX 400W/Gigabyte Superb 460W and add Sapphire HD 5670 512MB as the gfx card and don't forget to fill up the above form.

Don't go for WD Green as your primary HDD as it is 5400RPM HDD which will make hard disk intensive tasks slow (Like booting up, copying large files, game & software loading etc.)
Also, don't go for the VIP PSU, better get FSP/gigabyte/corsair

Where/how will you purchase. You open for online purchase. Why a LGA 775 quad..?

can you mention your budget and your primary requirement please. I think 400W is not enough for 5750. Do mention your budget for a complete & unbiased suggestion

how much is the CX400?
Why an LGA 775? Get a cheaper motherboard dude, these dont have much resale value now....and i guess your not going to be using all those features too.

cx400 should be 2.8-3k.

and yes going with a core 13/i5 ore even an am3 based rig will be more good.
