What is your budget for the motherboard and cpu upgrades? The parts I posted originally are a good vale but depending on how much you want to spend we may be able to do better.
Well, I guess I'm going to go ahead and order the parts, everything seems good. It will go really fast. Later on, I'm going to buy a new GPU and a 3 or 4 core AMD possessor.

Heh, I've been looking at reviews of the newest AMD chipset and the Intel chipset, looks like AMD wipes the floor with Intel.
I saw some videos of the Intel chipset and the AMD chipset with the newest prosesors, Intel was lagging like heck, AMD was going smooth.
You sure you weren't watching a video from like 4 years ago? Currently no AMD processor comes on par or better than the Intel quad cores, the best AMD i personally think is one from the X3 range (can't remember the name) which performs @ a e8400 level.
Good build on the cheap though, at least AMD can still make sales, i really hope they come back so that Intel and AMD can be cpu warring again
