Looks like a good build, Enjoy it!
What is the PSU you are planning on getting, though?

 

[noonesshowmonkey]

the antec case comes with a 500w power supply that was really very highly reviewed.

Just got back from Microcenter with 4 cores of JUSTICE!

 

[outlw6669]

I see it now.
Yeah, Antec's Earthwatts line is prety high quality.
You may need a more powerfull one if you decide to CrossFire that 4850 but it should work great with the single card.

Enjoy your build!

so the xiggy won't get in the way of the P45's NB HSF?

 

[V3NOM]

especially on that biostar everyones raving about... that HS is so close to the CPU socket!

I think you should go with a Corsair 650W if you plan to OC. Here it is:

If you do, then you probably don't want a case with a built in power supply. Here's one I like that the Xigmatek will fit in (I'm not sure it fits in the Sonata):

Also, get this for the cooler:

Also, that RAM is just OC'd. You can easily overclock to that level with probably lower voltage with one of these:
