is there a reason you went with an i7? You could get (2) 5850s instead if you go AMD.

I was just thinking that. Phenom II X4 955/965 = cheaper mobo & cheaper CPU --> better GPU.

And you won't lack processing power...

In case you are interested.

Looks good. I can't find anything outstanding that I would change.

You could save a few dollars by switching to this motherboard. It carries roughly the same features as the P6T V2 and overclocks about as well. The only outstanding loss I can see is the lack of proper 3 way Crossfire or SLI.

Supposedly you might be able to save quite a bit by ordering from another site due to the lack of tax. I hope you'll pardon me not suggesting one off-hand, as I'm no expert with Canadian sites. Hopefully somebody will drop by and point you in the right direction.
