I want it to be as close to 800 as possible. As you can see its over. Help me get it closer :)

I feel i am forgetting something
 
umm assuming you have got yourself an XP of vista disk wit key then you have got everything
 
alright, thanks Freestyler. I don't want to go w/ that mobo because it only has 1 pci x16 slot. He wants two pci x 16 slots for when he goes SLI someday
 
Ya, but the P35 chipset doesn't support sli, you'd need something like 680i for that...
