My main concern is if the memory will work with the board. the DRAM QVL for the board dose not have it listed but i was wondering if i should take the risk and get it. Let me know what you all think.
 
You have no responses here because you are making us guess what NLE is.

Non-linear editing? Adobe?

If that is all you are doing on this computer I doubt you need the GTX 470. GTX 460 would run cooler and do anything you needed.

While the XFX PSU is very nice, it is also overkill. The new X-560 is fully modular:

Dead silent at the loads you will be using, and more efficient.

That's quite the case :) Well, it will work great I'm sure.

There is no way to tell about the RAM... but you got a good kit.

Without more specifics I can't say. You might be better off looking at dual Xeons, just depends on what you are actually doing.

Yes it is a Non-linear editing system running Adobe.

The GTX 470 Is one that Adobe recommends. I was looking at doing GTX 460 in SLI would that be better
I would have to do the hack to get MPE in adobe with GTX 460.

And i will be editing HD video on it .

I was looking at those Western Digital AV-GP drives I'm still up in there air about my storage drives I'm hoping they have some good deals when i go to order

I'll be sticking with the GTX 470 then it easier.
 
I recommend WD over Samsung for other reasons as well... some of their factories have come under fire for poor working conditions. While I don't think the HD factories are a problem, I like to vote with my wallet ;)

A secondary reason maybe. I just prefer WD for reliability also.
