This is a build I have put together, well the parts list at least. I would appreciate any comments, advice, or even just general reviews, as to if these will all work together well.
Things such as compatibility, areas where I can shave some money while not losing much performance, etc.., would be greatly appreciated.
The prices listed are from Newegg.com as of 6/26/08 and are final prices after instant rebates.
This computer will be used for gaming, media, music production, video editing, and general multi-tasking/everyday use.
I need it to last me a few years as well.
Thanks!

I like all your choices a lot. And the Tagan BZ700 would easily handle CF 4870.
If you're looking to save a bit the two places I can see room to shave some costs are the power supply and the case.
You could save about $50 on each going with a CoolerMaster RC-690 and a non-modular Corsair 750TX power supply.
