Multitasking Workstation/Gaming Rig

[DReborn]

Asus AN8-32SLI

7800GTX 512MB (when it becomes available and the price stops being insane)

SeaSonic S12-600 ATX12V 600W Power Supply

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Toledo 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Dual Core Processor

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 500 (PC 4000)

2x NEC Black IDE DVD Burner Model ND-3540A - OEM

ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED 92mm 2 Ball Blue LED Light Cooling Fan/Heatsink

So, I am planning to OC this somewhat but stability is of UTMOST IMPORTANCE. I play games every now and then but mostly I am doing photoshop, video editing, dreamweaver, etc. I want a very smooth, solid workstation that can kick some ass in games when I want it to on my Dell 2405. =)

Am i making any serious errors? Thanks!

Looks similar to mine, what OS btw? And you really think the 512GTX is worth the money? What will you be doing that requires a few extra frames over a 256mb gtx or gt?

WinXP Pro and Ubuntu (dual boot).

The only reason I am going for the 512 is because I have the 24" Dell 2405. I want to be able to play on it's native 1920x1200 resolution and if the extra $100 or so let's me play games that come out for the next year or two then it's worth it for me. =)

Plus, I LOVE the fact that it's silent and I'm curious to see how well it OC's. Once it is OC'ed I wonder if it gains even a bigger lead over the "normal" GTX
