After much reading these are the choices I've arrived at, please let me know if it all looks good, I have never used Intel before. I will be ordering next week and I'll be using this as my gaming pc. I already have the optical drives, keyboard, mouse, and lcd, will be migrating them from my current pc. I am also holding on to my Nvidia 7600GT for the time being, I'll upgrade the graphics card when DX10 comes about I'm thinking.

I plan on overclocking a bit and will be taking the cooler off of my current AMD chip and moving it onto the new Intel rig, I just like the way it looks and it has served me well so far.

Also, I plan on later purchasing another GB of ram - is it best to get 2 1GB sticks from the get-go or do 4 512mb sticks perform as adequately? I just wanted to keep initial cost down a bit, and those 2 GB kits are pricy.
All input is welcome, I just need to make sure I'm not missing some glaring incompatibility...
Thanks for any info
