MB => Upgrade to one with a 800 series chipset. ASRock 870 Extreme3 has USB 3, SATA 6 and 8x/8x Crossfire for a very good price.

CPU => The x6 is fine, but overkill. The x4 955 BE is a better choice for gaming and will OC well. If going with an x6, consider overclocking the 1075T. It will save you some money and OC VERY similarly to the 1090T / 1100T.

CPU Cooler => CM Hyper 212+ will do just as good of a job for half the price.

SSD => The OCZ Vertex 2 60GB is a little cheaper and has the same SandForce controller (will perform the same).

USB 3.0 PCI Card => No need with the upgraded MB.

What is this going to be used for? This seems like a really unbalanced rig. Could you fill out the sticky "How to ask for build advice."

Unbalanced?! i think it is Balanced!

60gb SSD isn't gonna work. Not unless you want to do a lot of junctioning.

Horrendous timings on that RAM. If you want cheap grab 2 kits of same spec ripjaws for $100

If not, spend a few extra bucks on a nice set of G Skill Eco. $145 ddr3 1600 7-8-7-24

Spend an extra $15 and get a 1080p monitor

Wireless input + gaming = bad idea.

PSU massively overpowered as mentioned earlier. You can easily run xfire 6850's on a good 650W PSU. Check the XFX 650, Corsair 650TX and Antec TP and earthwatts 650 (80 + bronze ones).

Do you actually need a Blueray drive?

Case is massively sized for your needs. Unless you plan on adding a lot more HD's no need. A 922 is fine and saves you a ton of money.

SB mobo's are currently undergoing a recall due to faulty chipsets. So out of picture until new ones comes out.

Thanks for the help.
1 SB mobo: someone here told me to get i will go back to old one.
2: Blueray: Yes Blueray is the future of gameing.
Wireless gameing: use all the time on LAN.
PSU going to change that.

SB isn't actually broken, the CPU's are fine. It's the p67 chipset that is broken, and it's a minor issue. Intel is just being safe to avoid lawsuits down the road, hence the recall.

K.
but still AMD 4ever!
when Bulldozer comes out i will buy!

I'm a little jealous you beat me by $5 on the RAM I ordered yesterday (Corsair vengeance vs. your G.Skill Ripjaws X); same timing, voltage, etc.

The build otherwise looks great. Except for the speakers. Your speakers make me sad ;) . I'd recommend a nice pair of Sennheiser headphones anyway.
