I thought I was going to be able to do this myself but after so many mixed messages from people all over the world I'm so confused I don't know where to start. 9800GX2 sucks no its great etc.... Here is a list of all the components I planned on buying for my new PC purchase. My intentions were to spend $3000 - $2500 or less on a system. This is what I came up with initially. I'm taking feedback because I don't know what to keep or what to change. If you want to please copy this text and fill it in as wanted.

Motherboard:

Everything else is cosmetic I assume but if you feel I've let something out please let me know.
Please explain why you changed a product in detail. Ok here is what I got I've include pictures so people can see the color scheme I'm going with and the products. The use of the computer will be for gaming and other general puporses. I plan on running two 22' widescreen monitors, one is an apple since display (already purchase and the other is listed).
