Its not that expensive i like my new MSI nf4 ultra board it had been going for a few hours now and is running fine. The dynamic overclocking is good but ive turned it off so i can overclock manually.

The ati cards are gonna be much better just imagine 42 real pipes against the 7800s 16 real and 8 pretend ones(how nvidia managed to keap that under there hat until after the launch ill never know).

The midrosoft keyboards though while i like mine and its nice to have wireless and these are the best wireless ones for gaming you might want a better wired one like a zboard or logitech. The misfrosoft mice though are as good as any although the gaming logitechs look nice.

Well i like my super lanboy and is a great case for cooling just the right size for a standard ATX computer and has 2 120mm fans.
The Akasa eclipse is also a really nice case and really flexible. Swiftech make good water cooling kits for amds.
