Technically this is my first build, but im pretty computer savy (its what I do for the corp). I've done some upgrades and mods on other computers though. I plan on buying this around the beginning of april so it will be there waiting for me when I get home from iraq. Im going for a gaming build with room for expanding later on. Budget isnt really a concern. I could have gone all out with it but I decided to stay reasonable. This includes everything all the way down to input devices and cooling accessories. Just looking for some feedback and criticism on it.

I dunno if he wants Intel though since every other piece of his build is well informed...hes probably an Intel hater and hardcore AMD fan
 
I looked at intel but it seemed like every board I looked at had some serious bug issues or something.
 
then you haven't looked good enough...

P5B-E, P5W...here are many good boards.

Don't pay for an AMD that is a slower with that high end of a build.
 
hmm alright ill check those out. I think it was the 680i chipset that I was looking at, and when I read about all the bugs with it I got discouraged from Intel.
 
Actually, the bugs are fixed. It was buggy at release, though... might take a BIOS flash.

If I went Intel today, it would be with a 680i board. But I am an AMD fanboy.
