Looks like a good build, I just picked up a K9A2 today, although I pay a bit more than you

I will probably upgrade to the 9850 as well with another 4850 and more ram in my future

Otherwise, very nice.

I guess I can't explain it...just one of those things. My dad used to call his old pickup "Betsy" and eventually everyone just called it by that name. No real reason but it made sense at the same time.

Well it would be "cooler" if it was given a women's name. Kinda supports and confirms the stereotype that computers=nerds.
