THanks to anyone who can look this over and offer ANY advice.
Thanks again! oh and the computer is mainly for gaming. and im content with a processor that isnt dual core.

It is all compatible, but i wouldnt reccomend that motherboard. Look for a good Asus SLi mobo (M2N series).

1. Switch the video card to a 7950GT - cheaper and better.
2. Don't use the PSU that comes with that case.

though if you are getting a card like that...you must be gaming..so i suggest you find money and upgrade ot dual core....but that 3800+ is still pretty nice of a processor..dont let anyone tell you different.

I agree with ceewi1
I would change the video card to this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130074 And pick out a power supply, the ones that come with cases in general are not that good! And for like 30 bucks more you could go with a X2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103735 Epox are good boards, used quite a few!
