It looks very nice. Good luck building it.

Overall it look good. If you can manage a 7900 GT, all the better, but it should run fine as it is.

Why don't you go AM2? 939 is a dead end as far as upgrade is concerned - you'll need new RAM and mainboard if you want to upgrade the CPU.

Nice.Some of those a8ne have a 1t bug on memory above 240.Would get a better mobo with that opty.

I read that the A8n-E is the best motherboard for non SLI. If there is a better non SLI board than I'm all ears.

I assume you'll be overclocking that OPty? what kind of cooling will you be getting?
