I'd just switch out that mobo for this one. Other than that it looks pretty awesome! Happy fragging. :)
 
These are high timings for a 1 GB set. Use G.Skill's 2-3-2-5 1 GB set.

Do you all agree with that? I'm seeing quite a few problems with that suggested mobo.
 
Ah, good call GeForce. Didn't see that. Concerning the mobo, it's really your call. It''s supposedly a very stable board, but even the best are known to have problems. I'd go with it though.

The Abit or Epox?
 
The EPoX doesn't support X2's. You should stick with the ABit.

sounds like a nice system. Very similar to what i want to build, but i will use Asus, and go SLI.

You might consider a better than stock heatsink. I know you are not overclocking, but quiter and cooler is never a bad thing.

once you get stuff together post some pics, i'm interested to see how it all looks together
