It looks pretty good but I would go with a 3800x2 processor as it's a little more future proof, and since your going with a sli board you should get a nvidia equvilent card so you can buy another later and sli both when games get more demanding my 0.2

3800+ single core flat kicks the shit outta the 3800+ dual in gaming apps right now. Maybe in 1-2 years a dual core will make sense when there's gaming apps that'll take advantage of it.

Good point on the SLI configured MOBO. I originally thought I'd go two 512 Meg 7600 GS SLI. After doing some research the single ATI card is by far the best bang for buck card out there competing and mostly beating cards that are $100 more then it. Guess I'll be looking at other MOBO's again
