Aha, I assumed since 280 > 275 that it came out later.

which version/company of the 275 do you recommend? And people say the 280 is outdated. How is the 275 not, if that's the case?

Final Items: ----------------------------------------- CPU from MC GFX - still haven't purchased Ram - Crucial 6GB Case - Zalman GS1000SE + Fans MOBO - Gigabyte ud3r. [There are just as many people against the ud3r as there are for the higher end boards so I don't see a reason to get the...

Because they don't offer everything at the same store, and even if they did, the prices are cheaper in certain stores. I saved over $100 in shipping costs alone by researching all the different sites thoroughly.

Bought almost everything. Just need to pickup my CPU from microcenter and a gpu. Thanks for all your help, guys.

This was the link to the turbo vertex you showed me before: "Read: Up to 240 MB/s Write: Up to 145MB/s Sustained Write: Up to 100MB/s" I guess they fixed it.

Do I need to have support for Sata 1 and II or do they use the same cables/ports?

All these that have discrepencies are the turbo version.

http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm Sorry, that was the link. They did review the dark knight, so they must have. Fenrir link is on that list.

Ah gotcha. Btw, did you see this air-cooler listing? They listed my Fenrir choice as #3 and you suggested the xiggy which didn't even make the list. What were your reasons behind this cooler? I'm not trying to be a jerk, i'm just curious.

Why are different sites giving me this conflicting information on that 30g vertex SSD? Some print higher read/write speeds than others [example w/ links a few posts earlier].

What about this LG burner?

Did you read the reviews from newegg? Half of the reviews are bad and even the 4 egg ones are people mentioning that they had LAN, RAM or other issues. It doesn't have eSATA, only four ram slots and I can't find any other good reviews about it. I've read many mediocre ones.

I realized that i really don't like the reviews on that mobo. I am going to downgrade the blu-ray for a 100$ or less dual-layer dvd burner and get a better mobo. Perhaps that original eVGA for 250$ that i saw. Suggestions on the burner? Plextor?

Amazon claims higher write/read speeds than any other website which show the following: "Read: Up to 240 MB/s. Write: Up to 145MB/s. Sustained Write: Up to 100MB/s. Shock Resistant 1500G. RAID Support" vs amazon: "write speeds clocking in at up to 270MB/s read and 210MB/s write" Exact same...
