A:
Already shortlisted Phenom II X4 955BE, Corsair Vengeance 4 GB, and stuck on a good board. Looking for a USB3.0 supporting board which will make life easier for my external WD drives which are a plenty. Another part I am stuck on is the PSU. Thinking of a Corsair VX450 as it's being recommended more than the GS600 but will it do my work. I have 3 internal hdd and writer.
My total budget is abt 20k and basic requirements are processor, mobo, memory and PSU. If a decent cabinet falls in the price bracket, i'll opt for a change else stick to my old one and throw out old junk.
Current cabinet is air cooled with panels peeled off and needs the heat sinks to be cleaned every month
I was into extreme gaming earlier but have been into casual gaming for abt 5 yrs and sticking mostly to xbox. Will change the 8800GT and monitor in Oct and not looking for their upgrade rt now.

My sentiments exactly. Plan to overclock only when the current cpu isn't able to handle what's thrown at it. The 8800GT will have to do till end of yr.
