I already have a good HD a decent flat screen monitor and a sweet Barebones case, a good all in one drive (DVD burner, CD burner RW etc etc), surround sound home system
I want you guys to tell me if these are good choices for what I want to do.
I'm not really a "hardcore" gamer. The most I do is emulate games like smash 64, Melee etc but I might get into PC games. (tf2, left for dead 2, F.E.A.R. etc) and I like to multitask A LOT. I always have a bunch of programs open
The processor that I'm planning to get is:
INTEL Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz 1333MHz 6MB C2Q CPU (I'm gonna OC this and this is probably the most priciest of all the things i'm buying)
RAM:
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK - Retail

Now I can't decide on which motherboard to choose (MOBO #2 costs a bit more but I'm thinking that in this case the more expensive the better)
MOBO #1:
BIOSTAR G31E-M7 LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138145
Make sure to click on "Specifications" so that you can see the specs on this
MOBO #2:
GIGABYTE GA-G41M-ES2L LGA 775 Intel G41 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
EasyTune 6(OC) hi-def entertainment, Intel HD Video, DX10

Now I've been researching this card and it sounds really good
GFX:
EVGA 01G-P3-N959-TR GeForce 9500 GT 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

So what do you guys think?
