hello, i'm yet another pc building newbie with minimal and basic knowledge of computer parts. i want to build a hardass computer that will run any current games at full potential, but i also do alot of music recording and processing. basically i just need someone to tell me if this setup is a good one, and if theres anything i should add or change (fans, power supply, etc) please let me know. i chose the new phenom2 x4 because it seems to be comparable to the intel i7 but much cheaper. but what do i know. id appreciate any advice you're willing to give. thanks!!

**i didnt include a sound card because i have a toneport ux2 for guitar processing that has a very good sound card in it, and currently i run all my audio through that.

Thanks once again for your help!!
 
cool thanks! what kind of power supply should i get? like i said, im a newb and this is my first build. also, im not sure what kinds of fans to get.

my cousin also reccommended this for memory

G Skill/OCZ/Corsair/Crucial/Patriot are all good brand memory. With Power Supplies stick with PC Power & Cooling/Corsair/Silverstone/OCZ/Antec.
