I'm pretty sure on everything except the mobo...it may be a bit overkill for me (fancy remote lol) but I want something i can dual GPU(SLI or CF) in the future and this one seems pretty sweet.

Thanks for taking your time to read this, u guys rock!

i would change the ram for cl7

 

[am1322]

cool guys thanks for the advice.. back to the drawing boards to see what i can come up with...also how much should I adhere to mobo's QVL for RAM, is it "bad" to use RAM not listed?

 

[gkay09]

^ No, it is not bad to use the RAM not listed on the QVL, but just check the customer reviews [strike]and see if atleast few report it being fine with AMD...[/strike]

I'd change the ram for this ram set/kit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226131&cm_re=mushkin_enhanced_blackline-_-20-226-131-_-Product

It has cl7.

get this ones http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231303

 

[gkay09]

^ Very good one for the price...
But get this one - This operates at lower voltage and costs the same...
