getting new pc
Couldnt salvage anything from the old one, here is the one imthinking of building. would like advise on the part choices and to know if im paying to much
1557 euro its around 1956 dollars, the only thing i wont switch there is the case, everything else is negotiable, i dont need optic driver, and have a msdnaa windows license
Edit, forgot cpu cooler, this one should do fine, 52 more euros
updated specs i386
Itsnow 1637 euros, or 2057 dollars.
Edit, updated again, to get a 7200rpm with 64mb cache, the seagate was 5900 rpm

I'd get one of the Seagate 64mb/s 1TB drives instead of the WD Blue, I know it's only for storage but it performs better.
right, updated my initial one for the seagate 2tb (the only 1tb seagate i can find here is 32 mb cache still, plus the diffrence is something like 20 euros which isnt much)
2400 MHz memory is a huge waste of money. Anything over 1600 MHz doesn't matter unless you're trying to feed integrated graphics from it.
You should be aware that the Asus Sabertooth motherboard has unusual cooling requirements, as it wants you to get airflow underneath the "thermal armor". If you're going to do something unusual with case fans to do that, then go ahead, but typical case airflow isn't appropriate to the motherboard.
I don't entirely trust the OCZ Agility 4 firmware yet, as it's pretty new, and the reliability track record of new SSDs with new firmware is rather bad.
You're completely missing an optical drive and an OS license.
What mother board would u suggest , and can u elaborate on the RAM?
Getting memory clocked at 2400 MHz will cost more than twice as much as memory clocked at 1600 MHz. The performance in real world programs will be the same either way. So you're better off saving the money and getting 1600 MHz memory. Apart from wanting two 4 GB modules, the rest of the specs to look for ar 1.5 V, and 9-9-9-24 or better latency timings.
