Very good selection. I dont know or recognize the brand of PSU you selected. It seems to have good reviews so maybe its ok. Im a Corsair fan myself. There are other good choices too and by the reviews I read about yours it should be ok. This processor you picked out is definitely good. Are you trying to stay within a particular price point? I was just wondering because for a little more you can go Quad core and it may last you a bit longer than a dual core. I would go with this cpu if I was building AMD: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103249This is only a suggestion and I think this may be better due to long term useage. If you dont mind upgrading in 2 years or so then stick with the dual core. Other than that it looks good! TMO

It sounds good. You will be pleased with your new setup. I need some more powerful pcs to help with the folding@home project. Once you get that monster built you need to put it to good use folding with us! Read my post, "need team members" and go to the links provided to read what its about. I found a team listing and we are the fastest growing team so far. We are moving up the ladder around 4000 teams a day! TMO
