looks like a spanky system you'll have their.

I'm running a similiar config: just without the high-end video.

If i were you, i'd get a 400W powersupply... 330W is probably sufficient, but definitely upgrade if it's old/cheap. Nothing worse than a powersupply causing u grief.

If you have the $$$ to buy a system like this, get an FX 5900 instead of the FX5800. :D

lastly, what brand & CAS-rating will your RAM have? That's important too if you want maximum speed and stability.

(in case you're not aware, you should be able to O/C using your setup to 3.4GHz EASILY with stock heatsink + fan. ... or if you're cautious like me, 3GHz is a nice round number. :D)

Very nice system spec's !!!

As NeoNSX says check what brand of RAM you are getting, because good RAM can make a big difference. Quantity doesn't always = quality.

Secondly I personally prefer to go with LG monitor though.

Your PSU should be OK for now but if your budget allows rather upgrade to a 400 watt incase you decide to add more components later.

Nice system!
The only thing I suggest is to increase your refresh to 75Hz

Monitor spec:
• 1756 by 1317 maximum resolution at 70-Hz refresh rate
• 89-Hz maximum refresh rate at 1280 by 1024 resolution

maybe a juicy PSU. With the benifit of SATA that could be a problem real soon.
