Hey all,
I'm pretty excited right now since my godbrother came to me and wants me to build him a nice gaming rig for his new room. I've gone ahead and have made a build on newegg.com and have posted up links of the build here.
I'd really appreciate it if any of you can look over the build and give me a few pointers!
1. Are the parts compatible?
2. Am I missing anything for a full build?
3. His budget is $1200-1400.
4. Is the 9800GTX a good video card? He'll be doing some gaming from time to time.

I just want to make sure that these parts are all compatible and are good for a gaming rig. Also, do you guys think that I can replace any of these items with BETTER items for same or less prices? I know the whole 4850/4870 thing will pop up in this thread, but I want to make sure I'm getting the best bang for the HIS buck!
Thanks much, and always appreciated,
Chris
