new rig to be built on october 18!

hi, i'm going to build a new rig. yay!!! i won't be able to assemble it until october 18, but i want to start looking for good deals now. after listening to the wise and majestic JP_Russell, i decided to go with an e8500, x48, and 4850 build, so here are the parts i'm looking to get:

e8500

asus rampage formula x48

asus hd4850

wd caviar 1tb (7200rpm, 32mb cache, 3.0gb/s)

asus dvd burner

xigmatek cpu cooler

and some cheap-ass keyboard from somewhere.

i already have:

asus hd4850

pc power & cooling 610w

benq 24"

logitech surround sound 5.1

antec 900

logitech g9

4gb ram ddr2 800

and a wd caviar 640gb (7200rpm, 16mb cache, 3.0gb/s)

yes, it's very asus and logitech centered.

anyway, what do you guys think? i think all of it together, it's about $1750, which is kind of a lot (but not when considering that i bought some of the parts a couple of months ago), but i think well worth it.

mostly, i'm looking to play games at high resolutions while recording videos (to do more video reviews), and my current rig's not cutting it (huge framerate drops when fraps-ing, making the video choppy and the game unplayable). if anyone has suggestions, please make them. i'm very ignorant about these things.

thanks, guys, for any suggestions or comments. i always appreciate it (and need it - cuz i'm very fragile emotionally and need to feel like i'm loved).

oh, and i'm getting an iphone too! i really hate being a tool like that, but i need a new phone (ok, not really, but my service obligation is up soon, and i can get a new phone, so why not get one???), and i like the iphone's internet browser. and it's so pretty~!!!
