I have no clue on what I should pair up with what.
All I have is the 9800GX2, and that's all. I'd need:
It needs to be compatible with the card, I'm building the computer around it.
CPU
(What the hell is an mGPU?)
RAM/Memory
Harddrive (Need sugguestions on how big)
Also, If I can fit it all in a laptop, that would be good, but if it can't, then fine.

Meh, I knew the build wouldn't fit, sadly =( I have to get to my job in bit, I'll be back in say, 10 minutes, I'll check back around 5
Also, Another thing, is a Quad Core Q9450 overkill, even for Crysis?

mGPU is a mobile graphics card.
Also, what do you intend to do with the PC.. would help on suggesting a build for you.

Even if he said money is no matter, but this is the most shitty and expensive configuration I've ever seen. Q9450 is overkill?
Do you have any freakin idea what your doing? Almost $1800 and not including a graphic card (yes I know he's got a 9800GX2).
IF you know then you would have opt for a Q9550 at 2.8GHz which is around the same price as the Q9450. $200+ dollars more for a mere 200MHz. What have this world got into? 
As for that case you picked, the 9800GX2 may not fit or be a extremely tight fit due to the horizontal placement of the hdd brackets.

| Either just get a Q6600 now, and overclock the shit out of it, or wait for Nehalem chips.

9800GX2 is a PCI-E card right?
The best board I've seen around is a Nvidia chipset board...Just go to Tiger Direct and check the Nvidia boards out. Depends on what you are going to use the computer for is how big of a processor you will need (CPU) then the ram to match the CPU...Hard Drive: well a 250GB Seagate Barracuda should do nicely.

Try AMD Spider platform, its a monster. Overclocked Quad-Core, 4 graphics cards, supports like 16GB RAM, and its like the best gaming system our there. Beat HP Blackbird by like 300%!
