I think it all should work fine, but if u have any suggestions i would love em, but this is gonna cost me like a 1000 or just a little over, and im in canada so i cant use newegg. Would love any insight.

Yeah, that looks nice. Good idea to replace that FX5500 if you want a balanced system.

Maybe 2 Gigs of RAM fairly soon.
