Yeah, those aren't bad parts at all. I get most of my stuff from NewEgg as well. I don't really use Gigabyte for mobos. I tend to stick with ASUS as I've had really good luck with them.

The mobo in question is a Gigabyte nforce 2 board, all my CPUs are from Newegg (and not overclocked), my power supplies from Enlight, and my ram is Crucial. Just bad luck I think.
