Hey guys. I've been working on putting together a list of components that I want to order (hopefully) tomorrow. This is what I'm looking at in my cart right now:

AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE
Xigmatek Dark Knight
Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P
Corsair XMS2 2x2GB DDR2-800
ASUS Radeon 4870 Dk
WD BLACK 750GB
LG DVDRW

The 4870 should hold me over til the 5000 series cards come out and settle down in pricing. I'm going to check locally for a PSU and Case to save money on shipping. I'm not sure if I want to go lower end with an Antec 300 or spend some extra cash on a Storm Scout.

For PSU would 600w be enough for now and support 5000 series?

3 things I'd change:

1) AM3 only board
2) DDR3
3) 750w PSU

Edit: nevermind.

I'm going to stay away from DDR3 until the prices come down and AMD supports triple channel.

nice build im putting something simmilar to that together as we speak the cm scout is a awesome case but on the cable management side it isnt the best but its still possible to get good cable management on it
