Let me start off by telling you what I KNOW I'm buying:

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E8400 (2x 3.0GHz/6MB L2 Cache/1333FSB)
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT 512MB
4GB Ram


With that being said, I decided to buy this rig when Age of Conan didn't run on my old comp.
The specs above will well run the game. I will most likely not be upgrading this computer again
until Darkfall Online and Diablo 3 come out(a couple years). Use this information to base:

1)What motherboard?? P5n?? pk5?? p35??...etc...x36 for future??..etc
2)Which of the brands/speeds of ram????
3)'Which PSU power supply? Not some junky crap that wont pump out power on rails
4)(quality cases)Which case has enough space and is easy to install all this?? Here's some common
cases available: IBuyPower System Configurator :: Help Me Choose

If you can assist in any of the questions please do.
first question about this is; do you live in the U.S.? i ask because i want to know which websites i should post in my links here to show you what some good parts are. also, what exactly is the price range?

a good case is the antec 900

this isnt a bad power supply

and i personally prefer evga motherboards, but i dont know what your price range is, so im posting one thats a little cheaper. its made by asus and is here

and for RAM, i would reccommend getting 2 sets of these
