I'm particularly interested in how you're going to feel about the different in platforms (i.e. if you notice a performance difference). Nice parts.

I have that same board and for a first time builder i couldnt be any happier! It overclocks my chip really well. It even unlocks the 4th core on my 720. I use 1303 bios. Another thing i was looking into getting that cooler. Well its a draw between that one and the dark night as of right now and intil i get money lol. Anyways i was wondering if you could post some temps when you get it up and running please. On that note all i can say is Excellent job on build and you should be happy with AMD. I sure am
