Anybody? Please!

Personally, it looks totally compatible, however I didn't look too indepth (ie. case size, video card size, etc). You should be fine, but you might want to wait for somebody to look more indepth...you can do it yourself you know. Just make sure nothing is too big, and make sure that your motherboard has enough PCI slots, and plugs for all your components.

Enjoy your build.

I think that there are serious instability issues with Intel and SLI, and use something other than OCZ. When Mr. F or GLC sees this, they can advise you a little better than me. Hold off on money spending.

Skip the SLI motherboard. Also will you be playing any games?

One other thing also: That's not such a great video card. I had a Sapphire X1600 floor one of those by 800 3D Mark points. Spend a few more dollars on that end too.

1. Dump the SLI board.
2. Consider a Core 2 Duo.
3. Get a better video card.
4. Get rid of that outrageous ram and get some plain DDR2-800.
5. You don't need SATA cables, the motherboard comes with them.

However, if that's exactly what you want, it all looks compatible to me as long as the motherboard has bios 0504 or higher.
