yeah
id say get a 4890 or a 280/275 from Nvidia
otherwise it looks pretty solid and nice to me
just get a diff drive then the SSD, not enough use for that yet
Good Luck

If i remember later i'll post some pics, but the running a mugen 2 with gskill pi ram (about as big as they get) and all you have to do is mount the fan a little high and you'll have no problems. My idle temps are low 20s and load are low 30s with my setup

Just make sure you get a D0 revision, they are usually in the back and you have to ask for one specifically.

I bought it this morning, but what is a D0 revision?

Nevermind, found it out from the Intel website. I looked up my sSpec Number and it says on the website that it is a C0. I'm going to take it back tomorow and get this one.

Definitely take it back, the D0 is WAYYYY better. They are going to give you a C0 if you don't insist upon a D0 because they are trying to get rid of them.

Ditch 4850x2 and get GTX 275 or 4890. But I suggest you spend a bit more and get a GTX 285.

Bout 100 bucks more.

4890 is a better card than the 275. The 4890 gives the best bang for buck. They are between $200 and $250.
