Wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions on this build? I enjoy playing RPG's like Oblivion and Warhammer, hopefully getting Fallout 3 when it comes out. Im still using a P4 with a very old nvidia card - which I can barely run my two favorite games with, so this is going to be a very big upgrade for me. Im planning on either running a 24" or 22" monitor - not sure yet.

remove the second dvd drive. and OC the memory or get the fan for the memory, when calling to order as for the ram fan, should be about $25 
change your sound card to razer, creative drivers have problems |

Thinking about moving to a razer or asus, just not sure about losing out of EAX..
