that looks good to me , although i'd like a DVD writer with it and an AMD64 based system but thats just me

yes if it is for a gaming rig an amd 64 is definately alot better than an intel. But if you are doing video editing or running programs that would run better with the use of ht you should stick with an intel but i definately reccomend the amd 64 over an intel

One thing you need to look at is how many pins the motherboard takes from the PSU. A lot of mobos are using 24-pin nowadays and in which case you need a ATX 2.0 psu or a 20-pin to 24-pin convertor.

Sounds good to me, I wish i could find anything like that close to me...

Looks good mate!

AMD 64 chip would also be my choice. And has been aswell.

Good luck with the build.
