Just curious, what brand PSU did you get? Some are quite the pieces of junk.
Also, that is a good motherboard...but for what kind of processor AMD or Intel?

most likely AMD for gaming... the 3700+ is the best bet for gaming, best bang for buck... but if you want to take it to the extreme, get the FX-57 for about a thousand bucks from newegg lol

Good processor, though i do think its a bit over kill with price. Id personally go with a AMD X2, probly the 3700+ as mygro said or a 3800+.
