newb q: would this rig work properly?

[ac2272]

Hey guys, I've never built my own rig before and just wanted to know if all these parts would go together without conflicting.

Feel free to make suggestions but just keep in mind I want to stay around this $1300 pricepoint. I'm thinking of upgrading the mobo once more conroe stuff comes out and prices drop a bit.

most importantly, will 450w be enough?

One minor mistake could end up costing you a couple of hundred bucks.

the one thing i would suggest is to use the ASUS P5B board. although it may be more expensive, ASUS recently released a new BIOS for this mobo which unlocks the mulitplier for all conroe CPU's. this would allow ou to oc and get better performance.

What are you using this PC for?

don't get asrock, no sata 2, no dual ch, bad overclock, worst performer, probably not as stable either.
