I would invest in a few case fans and maybe double up the memory. But it all depends on what you are using it for.

Warflagon,
Can you give the 12v, 5v, and 3volt reading that the power supply is supposed to put out?

Why not a xp2500, clocked to xp3200?

The board allready has onboard lan.

Laterz,
dafanman

heh, yeah, musta been dozing, don't need that.
I'm not sure what you mean by the 12v, 5, and 3v reading.
I don't know how to overclock, and would be scared to try it with my brand new computer (Will they overclock your system if you ask em to when they build it?)

if your not gonna overclock go with the retail cpu it comes with a fan if they give you that option . you can drop the network card the motherboard has one built it so that will save you some money also .

i guess your not gonna build it yourself and have them put it together . if you build it yourself you can save quit abit off the 920 price . my guess would be atleast 250$

That makes sense, if youre not into overclocking, and dont know how definately go with the stock cpu.

Whoever is building the system should know what the respective outputs are for the power supply rails, this will be important, cause the gigabyte boards will give you plenty of trouble with a weak power supply.
