Default A build for myself.
I build this on Newegg for myself. I'm going to be a heavy gamer, and this computer also will have to multi-task between many users logged on. I also plan on getting a 4850, then getting another 48xx card to put in CrossfireX in ~1 year once their cheaper(Hence the pricey x38 motherboard, so I have two 16x slots). Is this a sound choice?

Since I can't upload Excel 07' spreadsheets as an attachment, I uploaded it to FF, for those who want to view it, in full.
http://files.filefront.com/Our+compu.../fileinfo.html

NOTE: I don't have a specific budget in mind yet, but if I want to cut down on something, I can easily drop Vista and the 4GB of RAM. I have plenty of XP install disks and images.

For the Motherboard you could get a DFI dark x38 for cheaper and only get the G7 if you need wireless otherwise get a G5/MX518

Yes, the x38 is a very sound choice if you have CF planned as an upgrade, get this x38 instead DFI DK X38 T2R for $185. eveything else looks good.

Looks a good build. The PSU is kind of overkill but good for future upgrade.

I have 4 harddrives and a possible CF solution in the future. I think I'll take overkill.

My current rig has a 600w unit in it so...

And I'll grab the DFI board.

I'm using the DFI DK X38 board right now, and have no complaints about it whatsoever.
