This is for mild to medium gaming, watching HD Movies entertainment in addition to that i do mild to medium graphic design, Photoshop c4d ext . i am looking to spend about 1500 but can go as High as 1700
as for CPU cooling i have yet to decide on which one i will need, my room runs about 53, so i am not sure what type of cooling will be needed, also this rig will be running Vista ultimate 64 bit
Since you are not going to SLI with that video card you don't need to buy an SLI motherboard. nVidia's SLI chipsets are buggy and have many issues (just search this forum) not found on Intel chipset motherboard.
I would look at MSI Neo-3R P45 motherboard instead for $119.
Other than that nice build. You *might* want to consider 48x0 cards also. 4850CF gives 9800GX2 a run for its money, and beats it in some cases. 4870 CF should beat it easily in the same price range ~ $500.
