few suggestions

1) take this ram instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231047 theres no need to spend too much on it as your not gonna do overclocking

2) get the x2 4200 instead,its only 60$ more http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103547

3) get the evga branded 7900gt instead of the xfx http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130281 , evga is the best nvidia brand and im sure most ppl on this forum will agree with me on that

4) if youll settle for a 7200rpm hard drive , youll be able to take the x2 4400..

thats about it , keep in mind that the 10k rpm raptor might be noisy , also if you aint planning to connect another hard drive/s you alredy got to the new pc for extra space then you might find out 150gb isnt alot for you. while the raptor gives best hd performance its price/capacity ratio is very high in compare to 7200rpm hds..
 
Wow that is a really nice setup. I would really want it, nice job! plus everything looks compatible, i have that cpu and its nice.
 
drop teh 10k rpm and buy a 250gb western digital sata2 16mb cache for , and buy a x2 4400+.
 
Switch mobo to DFI Lanparty UT Ultra-D for SLi-DR. AMD is more compatible with DFI, and Intel with ASUS. Everything else looks good, and yes i would agree to switch from 10,000 RPM to 7,200, their really is no point in have a super fast HD unless its very important. And go with eVGA because of the lifetime warranty and the step up program.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions. :eek:

I switched the RAM and Motherboard, which allowed me to upgrade the processor.
