Looks good.
You may want the x-fi instead of the audigy though. It will be better.

I know you discussed this already, but you might want to get an opteron because there arent gonna be any more s939 any more. Just something to think about.

so..... you think get an opteron, because soon you won't be able to buy them in s939?

If you want to get one for overclocking this is your last chance. Either way it will be a kick ass computer either way. You may want to get one just for bragging rights or something. Maybe have a more "valuable" computer.
Personally my 3700 can get to 3GHz from a base of 2.2GHz and thats as far as someone with an opteron got so i dont really see the difference, but im not an expert.

 

[Zer4tyr]

well i think i won't be able to get an opteron anyway. i i'll be buying about the start of Jan, and they'd probably all be gone. If they're not, i'll get one, but i think i'll be out of luck by then.

 

[Zer4tyr]

well, no-one else is saying anything, so i'm assuming all is good. Thanks.
