I think that is a good deal

*edit* Nevermind about the second GTX460, Bought mine yesterday Big Grin

How old's the rig? If he overclocked it frequently, it might not be such a deal, but for the price of the parts you listed above alone that sounds pretty good.

Mobo is coming in tonight, and the GPU should be here within the week.

So. Close! All that's left is the i5-2500k, the case, the windows OS, and putting it all together. Big Grin

Of course, provided everything will fit on the mobo. Wish me luck!

;D Thank you guys!
Dumb question, but the i5-2400 sandy bridge won't hold up to the i5-2500k, will it?

I'm only asking because the i5-2400 is like 70$ cheaper at newegg due to a sale.

vs.

Oh and look, the i5-2500k is on sale too! Although, not as much. I've got until tuesday to decide. Help?
i5 2400 is cheaper because multiplier is locked (you can't overclock it)

That settles it then. No sense in paying less for that when I've sprung for Overclocking RAM, Mobo, and a case with enough cooling in it.

Also, Win 7 Home Premium is on sale for a great price today too - it's like 80$. Can't freaking wait for the GPU to come in, then all I've got to do is put it all in the case Big Grin
