I agree with the RAM selection -- I'm making that change, thanks.
With the powersupply, I think I may switch to the rosewell as well.
The motherboard I plan on getting is fine, the ASUS one is a bit too rich for my blood.
Like I said before about the dx10 cards, I'm not willing to invest my money in a first gen card, and I also don't want to spend more than 200 dollars on a video card which is why I am going for the x1950. From what I have read I see that the x1950 handles games just as nicely as the 7900gs, and better with half life 2, which is still currently my favorite game.
For the sound card, I know that I don't need one but I have noticed the improvement that even a "low end" one makes compared to onboard sound.
I would still like to know about the bearlake chipset, cause I also have this plan on the back of my mind. I'd like to get one of the new motherboards, buy the cheapest core 2 I can find and wait until a yorkfield quad core gets released so I can upgrade to that. But that all depends on the release dates, I don't want to wait forever.
