So I am doing a new system build. I have everything selected and just wanted to run it by you all real quick before I spend alot of money haha! The machine will be primarily used for gaming and software development (c++, opengl, etc). I am not looking to overclock, although I may try a slight overclock since I hear that it is so easy on the core2's.

Those are the main components I am thinking of. Onboard sound should be more than fine. Just wanted a couple quick second opinions before I started ordering. Thanks!
