What do you guys think of this set up?

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=18469845

I'm looking to replace my two year old AMD rig. I'm going to reuse the case, heat-sink, hard-drive (thank god

), and power supply.

That's very good set up

. But considering IVY bridge is coming out and a new series of Nvidia GPU are on the way, you may want to hold of a little longer as you might see a price drop in the 5XX series. But a good list you put together there

i agree that is a nice setup, you will feel the difference coming from AMD to an I5 2500k, as mentioned above if you hold of you might see a drop in 5xx cards but if you can hold off you might as well go Ivy bridge I5 3570k and a z77 mobo..
