Looks good so far.. which graphics card will you be using with it?

[Slotback]

Looks good.

Unless you're going SLi I'd stick with an Intel board, but that's just me. 9500 should able to cool a 45nm dual easily, even heavily overclocked.

I don't know anything about that case, or PSU - but I know Corsair make some of the best power supplies.

It is an Intel board. Im using an PNY 8800GT Extreme. I might get a dual Graphics set up later after I get my comm. cert.

Your OS will be Vista Ultimate 64bit or XP Pro 64bit?

It is an Intel board.

I think what Vodka Burner meant was an Intel chipset, X38 or X48. 790i is an Nvidia chipset.
