Only changes I would make is to skip the SLI board and just get an Asus P5K.

Keep in mind that 32bit Vista will only see 3.2GB of that 4GB. You can put it all in still, but thats what Vista will report back.

Also, I can't comment on that Rosewill cooler. I'd stick with the retail HSF, its plenty.

Well the rosewill cooler was just about free with a combo purchase on my CPU.

I will probably end up going to a 64 bit OS when more games and software catches up.

As for the board....you arent the first person who has recommended the P5K....so if this board is DOA or just plain old sucks....I will RMA for it.

Thanks for the tips though

They are much appreciated
