Seems a solid build. Just got one suggestion, you could have gone with either a AuzenTech or a Asus sound card. They are way better than X-Fi and have better driver support.

I think that will work. Hell, if you can, get a GTX260 and OC. Then use another card (like a 9600GT or something) for physx.

If you are running windows 7 then you can use a nvidia card for physx <.< Go and try that out

I wish I lived near a Microcenter, but I would be so broke.

Any particular card/s in mind? I haven't ordered it yet, so I am still open to cards

Yeah... I definitely like that system.

Personally I'd keep the 4890. Especially since it's an XFX. OC the hell out of it!

But I'm biased
