Check benchmarks, this videocard is better for the same price:

You can get $5 off coupon (expiring tomorrow), check on Slickdeal or Dealnews
It's with free shipping and before rebate. I have used few of them - awesome.

And also 790GX chipsets are better than 790FX when it comes to overclocking, stability, and Phenom II support.

Too bad you have not got Phenom II 920
 
hmm, didn't even know theres was a Phenom II, thats ok thought since i don't plan on over clocking my system. ill prob get that vid card instead though.

i have a couple questions as well that i meant to ask in the first post
1. will the 600W psu cover all the hardware. i used a psu calc and it turned out to be something like 300w. The vid card reccomends 550w and the cpu is 140w.
2. will the mobo recognize a slower speed ram? the mobo i plan on getting says its for 1066MHz, while all my ram is 667MHz (DDR2). does it read these slower speeds or does the ram have to be 1066MHz.
