knowing it is eATX, which I did not notice, then I can go to a sniper (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128552) and have a much better board that would allow 3 way SLI as the original plan was, and still have one to dedicate to physics. 
Plus the price is not that much more considering it comes with a quite good Wifi add in with external antenna.
So I think what I will do now is get the case and speaker. And get the motherboard after that. Should be fine going that way. Can get a SSD or 3TB drive in place of the UD5H too.

I think they will fit well. It just dawned on me that the 480, while hotter, is smaller than the 5870 and probably the 6900 and 580 series too. Good card.
It looks like an epic board. Not much on expansion over the graphics cards, but I don't need anything else at this point. USB for floppy. IDE can be had in the BIOS. should all be good.
Might get a bluray drive if I can find one. Or preorder warfighter. not sure yet. Think the plan is together now.

Well, I am not sure I need one. Nice to have, but I don't really see the need until movies start moving away from DVD. Heck as is most of my musik is on Cassette tape and most of my movies are VHS. like Ive said time and time again, Im old school.
Really been looking for a turntable with cassette and CD, but they are hard to find, or Im not looking right. But that is OT here.
Do you foresee a need for Bluray in the near future?

Bit of German there, Musik? 
What you want is a stack stereo, you can probably get one from eBay if you're interested. My parents have a stack stereo up in the loft which plays LPs, CDs and cassettes I think. It looks awesome but it's massive and heavy!
Ummm... as for Blu-Ray. There is a difference between DVD and BR quality, but as most films are still available on DVD, there's probably not a need yet. BR drives are still quite expensive (mine was just under £50), so I'd probably wait until they get cheaper. Then you can most likely get a BR-RW as they will have gotten much cheaper too.
If you ask me though, physical discs such as CDs, DVDs and BRs are a dying technology. Digital downloads and solid state memory are going to replace them I reckon.

I always spell that wrong. That and Afrika.
Stack stereo. Ill look for that.
I know. But I do not think it will happen too fast. I mean games are already there just about. But I don't foresee the next 5 or so years having complete download only movies and musik. There are too many that still use the physical media.

Sometimes German slips into my English too. Taking a GCSE in it next year, been studying it for almost 3 years.
I did a quick search for a stack stereo on eBay, not much came up. You need one with a turntable, a cassette player and a CD player. I don't know of any model numbers or brand names I'm afraid.
You'd need something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/pioneer-s..._Amplifiers&hash=item19d2dc6df2#ht_500wt_1413 the stereo my parents have isn't that big I don't think and I know it's on UK eBay, may be worth seeing if there's any for sale on the US eBay. The one my parents have is this one I think http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONY-HIFI...ems_Combos&hash=item2a1fe5affa#ht_1452wt_1396 I know it's a Sony.
Blu-Ray movies are getting cheaper and cheaper, but the BR drives for the PCs are still quite expensive. I'd probably just wait for now and see how quickly the drives get cheaper, and then when they become cheaper, go for it.

I think I will finish my system, and save blueray as the last thing if I decide I like it.
Those systems look nice, but i think they are older ones. I was looking for something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jensen-JTA-...rs_Home_Turntables&hash=item4ab9b0ac8e&_uhb=1. Its still quite expensive, but it is not really that bad for all it has.

Yeah the other stuff is more important than a Blu-Ray drive.
The stereos I found are very nineties. But I guess that's when people wanted those sort of stereos. The one you found seems fine, has everything you need I guess.
I'm gonna go and take some shots of my PC now, I'll be back in a bit.
