What would you change?

  Here is some bullet points on what I would change to get the most bang for your buck:

  • Replace the GTX 260 with an HD4870.  It performs 10% better and handles AA better costing a little less.
  • Drop the P35 board for a P43, its a more modern chipset so it can handle a bigger FSB.
  • Rosewill power supplies are cheap, like they break easy.
  • Corsair Dominators really aren't as good as OCZ Reapers.  The Reapers have a better timing and better cooling solution.  They also cost less.
  • Lastly, I would opt for the E8400 instead of the E8500.  I don't really think the performance difference makes up for the cost difference.
