	Definitely the newegg build. Though I personally am not very knowledgeable with EVGA, personally I would go with ASUS. In addition take a look at the OCZ i7 RAM. The dell build is counter productive, the GTS240 is equal to your 9800gtx the ram is slow and like you said who knows what the mobo is.

	Looking good...I can vouch for everything except 9900ALED though I did do some research on it and it seamed like it was an adequate cooler. Here is one that is a great value to cooling ratio, Scythe MUGEN-2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185093 I have seen some good scores out of it. It rates just below the NH-D14 but it is only a third of the price. Check heatsinkfactory.com for better prices and availability. Here is a great forum for systems and in particular the P6X58D http://www.overclock.net/intel-motherboards/662236-asus-p6x58d-premium-thread.html my rig is http://www.overclock.net/8580912-post594.html

	Thanks once again Jeremy . . . This will be awesome once I get my money.

	Richard--go with the newegg build. But keep the EVGA X58 motherboard...I have it- it is wonderful! I would recommend a 6GB set of DDR3 Mushkin Ram that runs on 6-8-6 timings... KEEP THE EVGA X58!!!!! I had the P6T Deluxe---gave me nothing but issues!

	I agree with Jeff. I'd keep the EVGA board. They make great stuff. I also would've kept the Corsair RAM. Corsair is like the Mercedes-Benz of computer parts. The quality of Corsair products is unmatched.
