I finally decided I wanted a faster PC, and since it's almost impossible to upgrade my current one without a huge overhaul. I went a purchased some parts for an intel system, my first Intel build so far. How's this for a parts list?
ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
1 EVGA 768-P2-N835-AR GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz LGA 775
Sony NEC Optiarc 18X DVD±R DVD Burner with 12X DVD-RAM Write Black SATA Model AD-7170S-0B - OEM
ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT 110mm 2 Ball Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler - Retail
LIAN LI CR-35B 50-in-1 USB 2.0 Black Aluminum Card Reader - Retail
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad (Black) EPS12V 750W Power Supply - Retail
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ - Retail
Like I said, I've never built an Intel system, I discussed some of the parts with a friend who just built one with that mobo/processor and he couldn't be happier. I was tempted to go with an Nvidia chipset for SLI further down the road, but I didn't want to spent $200+ on a motherboard, when this one had quite a bit of features.
