Might want to rethink that mobo/CPU combo. I seem to recall that the 680 chipset does not do a good job of supporting the 45nm processors. Check the CPU support page for that mobo.

MSI -- MICRO-STAR INT'L CO., LTD.

Rampage Formula or Maximus II Formula are the 2 main choices for you IMO...

Then get either E8400/E7200 or Q9450/Q9300 Dual/Quad Core CPUs from Intel.

Get either a PC Power&Cooling Silencer 610 or 750 watt PSU, wait for the HD4870s and get 2 for Xfire and youll thank me later.

Also, dont forget to get the 4 of new 750Gig WD Caviar Black HHD for RAID10, best sofware RAID array you can opt for:P
