HELL YES. That computer is one that god must have. It must be really expensive but, how much are you paying for it?
 
Yeah, thats a great build! Only thing I would change is the case, cuz that ones so darn expensive. Oh and I don't think you need 6 gigs ram, 4 is plenty. With 6 gigs, you'll have enough ram for a LONNNNNNNNNG time!

He's running a triple channel board, 4 gigs would be a bad idea, and I'd much rather take 6 gigs over 3 these days. Better to have too much than not enough, especially considering how cheap ram is about now.
