Awesome. However I have one recommendation. Get a motherboard that supports crossfire. They are not much more and some even less than the one you have spec.

Such as this one. <a class="postlink" href="www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a">www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813130275 Less than yours after a mail in rebate but will give you room to add another card in the future without replacing a MB if you choose to do so. I always like options even if you don't plan to start out with two video cards. Plus this one has a faster northbridge and southbridge to pull more speed from that B A processor you're getting.

I think you will be very happy with it. Nice rig. I think you will get great performance but have not spent crazy money.

It's a very nice build, but for next time:

The Antec 902 is a bit of a cheap case (in terms of quality as well as price)... for that price range you'd be better off with a Lian Li K56/58

The Samsung Spinpoint F3 is noticeably faster and cheaper than the WD Caviar Black drives, and would have been a better choice.

That motherboard is the same one I have, and all I have to say is: It's terrible. It's a cheap board and really doesn't OC well at all... it REALLY doesn't do that chip any justice, you'd be better off with a cheap 880/890 board.

The PSU sound pretty dodgy. Try to buy Antec, Enermax, Seasonic or Corsair. Coolermaster are ok as well, but not the best quality. I have a CM PSU right now, ONLY because I couldn't afford better at the time of building.

Everything else looks great, I think you'll be very happy with it, but definitely keep an eye on that PSU, and I'd be wary overclocking it with a PSU such as that one :|

Have fun mate!

EDIT: Ah, sorry, didn't realise this post was so old... I'm tired :(

D: Build it yourself next time mate. It's a lot more rewarding :)

Also, please try not to go to computer stores. They charge far too much. I was in one once because I needed a molex splitter cable (which they ended up charging me $9.50 for :evil:) and they charged a woman $170 for a simple reformat.

I have a computer store here in LA that is well worth their labor. You still get more when you build your own but you toss in their warranty you maybe getting a better deal.

$140 is 4GB of RAM or 2 RAIDed 500GB HDD's, or a better GPU.

I'd rather build it myself. But each their own :) How are you enjoying your build thus far?
