New PC Build - Require Input

[BlueHeaven]

Been a while since I posted here. . .since my last build in 2007 after the release of the Intel E6X50 series CPUs. (see sig) So I am now completely out of the loop about what's 'hot or not'.

So looking for for some helpful input:

General PC usage:
Gaming -

• Guild Wars 2 (if it ever releases )
• TF2
• Anything I want to play in the future

• Video editing in Vegas if the mood strikes me.
• Audio Recording with Sonar using a boat load of Amp sims and plugins

Threw together some components from Newegg. Everything is up in the air for change though:

The speed difference is gonna blow your mind. Case is merely personal preference, so long as you get something that can handle an ATX board you're good and set parts wise.
Enjoy your new beasty.

Lol, your PC in your sig is almost exactly what my current desktop was/is like. I've swapped out the GPU and cooler now, but yeah lol.

I think at the time everyone here was pretty much building the same exact PC.
