I would get a different case, but that is only because I think that case is crap. I'd also probably get a cheaper non-SLI mobo. A San Deigo 3700+ (with overclocking). Also definitely get cheaper RAM. Low latency expensive RAM does jack for the A64. Get some cheap Value RAM for $160. Even if you are overclocking just runa divider.

I personally think everything is fine except for the 3800+ processor. The SD 3700+ is a better deal imo because you can't "oc" your cache to 1mb.

Edit: The price on that RAM is ridiculous. Try looking on newegg.com for the exact same stuff. Or just go with some value RAM.

I would also get a 3700+ San Diego. More Cache is better I think in most situations for sure.
