    That's where your post is better directed.

    But since I'm here, some tips:

    -Q9550 is not a very good buy -- Phenom II / AMD base is better, or a better overclocking Core 2 Quad (Or i7)
    -DDR3 is somewhat wasted unless you're on i7 or PhII. Buy a good P45 board (P5Q Pro, UD3P, etc) and go with DDR2 or go i7/PhII.
