Alright so here it is, the moment I have been waiting for, I get to post what I believe is a good setup for a new rig and let everyone have at it. :P But seriously, everyone's comments/input is more than welcome. I am really hoping you guys can talk me out of the 4870 and let me just get a 4850. lol Either way. I'm iffy on the PSU/RAM/HDD<-(mainly if you can find a better deal). I'm stuck on the 5000BE and 4800s, however.

I am definitely planning on OCing this baby, BUT, of course, not without proper cooling. So, I'll be holding off on that for a bit until I can get a nice cooler (feel free to suggest COOLERS to).

Without further adieu:

Great...as soon as I order a 4870 from tigerdirect, they're back on newegg...anyway that system looks alright...you might not need it but here is some better RAM for only about $7 more: Here, that deal will end very soon though.

I was definitely looking at the 1066 before something made me decide against it before, but I have a feeling now that is what I'm going to go for.

And Yea, I had an idea of either a Tuniq Tower 120 or a Zalman 9500

i would definitely recommend the tuniq over the zalman. I myself switched from a zalman 9500 to a tuniq tower. my temps dropped over 10c on load. that was with a lapped 9500 and a unlapped tuniq.
