Plan on using on-board audio. I've heard it's pretty good now-a-days.

Let me get the links:

Well, that's what I'm thinking of getting. Almost positive that's what I'll be getting, actually.

I've made sure to look that they are compatible but an extra sweep by you guys couldn't hurt.

Anyways, does everything look good or any last minute recommendations?

Thanks.

make sure you have a dvi moniter for the graphics card

It should come with an adaptor anyway, so that's not an issue. Perhaps consider this graphics card for an extra $8: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150098

Does not matter that much almost any video card that has 2 dvi slots usually comes with 2 DVI to VGA converter. am using 2 VGA monitors on my graphic card that just has 2 DVI slots.
