Personally I would wait until the next price drop. I would also wait until Intel's Conroe is released.

Why wouln't you get an AM2 mobo and CPU?

I would not spend that much on a Mobo and CPU. I would get at least 2GB of RAM. You're spending tons of money on the video, CPU and mobo and getting 1GB of value ram. Doesn't really make sense. I would also get the 150GB raptor instead of the 74GB since you're spending so much already.

to answer your questions, yes all these parts are compatible. but i highly advise you either to wait, or to get a better cheaper system.
first, there's really no reason to get an FX-60. get yourself a cheap 3800 x2 and oc it past for about $500 less.
getting the 7950GX2 is a big mistake. especailly in a crossfire board. get yourself a nice x1900xt and then later buy another one an have crossfire.
74GB is not enough. get yourself the new 150GB one an another 250GB samsung drive for $90.
the case is fine.
1GB os ram is not enough. get yourself 2GB of corsair value ram.
frankly, i must admit that i have never heard of XCLIO. don't buy from a noname brand. and you don't need a friggin 750W psu! get yourself a good 500W Fortron or something. the heatsink should be fine, but maybe water cooling? as i see you're going all out on this rig, why not?
BTW, is this your first rig? do you consider yourself a computer expert? the mobo you got is only for the experienced. i wouldn't get it if i had the money. it has hundreds of BIOS options that, while probablly achieving very good OC's, is probabally too much for a first timer. also, add some Arctic Silver 5 to your purchase.

Looks good but wait till the end of July if you can.

Also change the MB to an Asus and perhaps go with a 400-500 watt Seasonic S12, 750 watts is a bit much in my opinion.

you selected a crossfire MoBo but selected an Nvidia card... go with the lanparty sli-d expert if you want overclockability. Seems like you have a bunch of $$$ to drop on this so why not get a pc power & cooling turbo cool 510? otherwise, I suggest something from enhance. They have a nice 600w modular that is really reliable and efficiant.

Thanks for all the great replys. To answer some of your concerns I was picking up four of those ram sticks. I see that I should not get that Motherboard with that gpu now. You guys are a great help. I will delve into this deeper and update later a new config, since I want to get this stuff soon. I need to get to work. Thanks again. I will be updating later tonight.

Wow the FX60 got pretty cheap(compared to what it was), what I would do it get a cheaper cpu and get another video card with the extra money, like 2 X1900XT's.
