old harddrives aren't compatible with new motherboards.. you'll need a s-ata harddrive (dunno what you have atm)

That chipset isn't very reliable and why did u take SLI mbo if u have ATi card...but don't take sli at all,since it's not needed. I'd take some mbo with P35 chipset. You can take HD3870/8800GT/9600GT, a bit better than HD3850. Also, E8200 is more than enough, E8400 is really not needed...

Agreed, any of the 650-680 chipsets are probably going to make you cry. Was very tempted to hammertime my PC because of them once.

Maybe go for a 9600 rather than a 3850, but a very nice system for the price. Maybe even break 10000 in 3dmark06 :)

should be nice all together i think ;p

A friend of mine got the same processor, with a sapphire 3850 with some geil ram and he just about breaks 10000. Afaik 9600 is a very good card for the price and outperforms the 3850, but you may need to check that.
For the hard drive a recommend samsung spinpoint, very quiet and reliable :)
I have a coolermaster psu aswell, works great too.

Asus P5KC, P35 - 102€
Intel E8200 - 142€
Ram CORSAIR TWIN2X2048-6400C4DHX 2GB KIT with DHX cooler - 53€
XFX NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 DVI PCIe 2.0 - 141€
PSU ATX 550W Corsair VX (CMPSU-550VXEU) - 79€
= 527€ in Slovenia

* ram and PSU are low-end, i wouldn't recommend that
*2 you should take a look about your HDD. They are not that compatible anymore

mobo is shit, don't take nVidia Chipset!!!!
if you want nVidia chipset 750+ (cause of cpu support and stuff)
take some mobo with x38 or smth
does 650i even support 45nm cpu?
rest is ok

As said by some others...the motherboard sux...

This can be recommended:

Motherboard:
http://forcom.be/?product=300837
http://forcom.be/?product=301323 (If u want better quality and more chance of expanding your system)
Asus P5E ... Cant find it in that store tho(Even better quality, expandability and standalone sound card)

CPU:
Great choice! (Might want to buy a better cooler....the box cooler that follows the CPU SUX to the max!)

Memory:
http://forcom.be/?product=302129
(No reason to buy more expensive memory when you are not going to overclock!)

PSU:
Nice choice.

GFX:
Great choice!
(If u can find an 8800GT 512MB at around 10Euro more it will be a better buy)
