I'll be using this system for playing games like CS, SC2, D3, Fallout 3, also i'll be using it for working with Autocad.
I love AMD and i'd like to stick with them. I'm considering replacing my procesor in the feature (if new AMD procesors could work in AM2+ motheboards).
I'd dump the sound card and use the savings to upgrade to a Phenom.
I don't buy Sony products. Try a Samsung SH-S223Q or similar.
I'm assuming you will add a second video card later. The 790FX is perfect for that (16x+16x, no bottlenecks). Also looka t MSI K9A2 Platinum 790FX, by the way. I know it supports Phenom 9850, for example.
