OK, before I make the final order, how does this setup look? Target use is 80/20 productivity to gaming, and target price is around ~$1100. This is an all AMD/ATI build, and I'd like to keep it that way. Anything I should take into consideration before I place to order?

Thanks!

I'm not too familiar with AMD motherboards, so I can't tell you if that's a good one or not. If it were me, though, I'd get a bigger hard drive.

This one is a very good hard drive at a decent price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822136218

Hope that helps.

Right cpu choice for productivity & multitasking. Dunno what games you play. The HD 4670 may suffice. The ram is overkill for a stock pc. 800mhz is fine.
