Hello, I'm new to the board so forgive any errors on my part. :-).

I'm just about ready to order my first new rig in about five years! I think I did a pretty good job of putting this system together, but we'll soon find out for sure, eh? I am just a little worried about the motherboard. I had previously liked the ASUS P5N32-E SLI but I reconsidered due to price. So, lets get on with it!

I'm very much welcome to suggestions. Thanks for the help.

Your wishlist is private. I can't see it!

What kind of usage do you plan? I think you can save money and still have a good system, but you might have to do some minor overclocking.

I think you should reconsider the PSU but everything looks good to me. I would get a 600W or above PSU, with a manufacturer who is reputable for PSU's. For a first build, it'll be a nice rig.

Have fun!

alcattle: For the most part, I'm planning on doing some pretty serious gaming. Also, some work here and there in 3d modeling and graphic art.

AppleCertifiedPro: Reconsider the PSU? Hmm. What do you think of this?
