That should all work well together.

You have your own case?

Looks good to me!

I play with almost the same specs and I can run WoW at max settings and still get around 50-60 FPS. It goes down to 20-30 FPS in heavy raid AOE... if you were wondering about performance/benchmarks.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I did also buy a case but I just didn't link it.

I'm also going to be installing Win7 64bit.

Price mainly as it seemed that I could get the best bang for my buck going AMD processor / ATI video card.

I would have loved to get an i7 though and have also been an Intel guy since they started making multicore processors.
