I ordered almost that exact thing just a few days ago from newegg. I'm waiting for it to arrive. See here https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.asp?ID=3779064

Steven, the build you have is almost identical to the one I'm looking at if I go with an AM2 system (with the exception that I'm looking to with the Radeon X1900 XT for my vid card).

Let me know how it turns out.
