You might want to rethink the motherboard because of a few things: the ram specs are confusing to me. "*Due to AMD CPU limitation, DDR2 1066 is supported by AM2+ CPU for one DIMM per channel only." I'm worried about that, but maybe it's just me. Also, there's only 1 PCI Express 2.0 slot as well as only 8GBs of ram supported. Many mobos today now support 2x PCI Express 2.0 slots as well as 16GBs of ram.

Your ram latency is also rated at a 5. Stop me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a little on the slow side these days? Isn't a latency of 3 better?

The CPU, HD, and GPU are all pretty sweet dude! Hopefully someone can clarify the mobo and ram situation so I know I'm not wrong.
