[Schni]

Everything seems good. I would toss in a SSD. A M4 128Gb maybe.

look at benchmark.... samsung 830 and 840 pro seems to be really fast...just ordered a 830 !

Look for a 670 atleast ... saw one on ncix on the clearance / boxing day deal
get a xfx pro750w modular single rail for the same price at ncix too...

everything else seems to be fine...
