I am doing an upgrade from an old AMD Socket A platform. Below is what I'm planning on buying to give my system a major face lift, for under $750. I already purchased the 2 hard drives yesterday as the first phase of the upgrade. If you don't see it listed, that means I am using the older parts from my current system instead to save $$$. Any input would be appreciated. All parts are from ZipZoomFly and are retail boxed, to maximize the quality and warranty. I am considering NewEgg as an option as well.

Lastly, since I'm an AMD faithful, I'm likely going to stick with them unless a much better Intel deal comes around.
