Haven't got mboard and cpu yet, so don't really know.

But, I do love the way it looks, and the cables are awesome, they must have fixed something because they are very flexible now.

As for the MX510, just personaly prefference, I tried em all out and when I game i dont usually sling my mouse around so I went with the laser.

I've heard you can get to 2.6ghz with the 3500 on stock voltage and heatsink!

I should easily have a 2.7 - 2.8 stable system, and that memory is supposed to perform just as good as the OCZ plat rev2 from the reviews I saw on it.

You will get it to 2.6 on air as many have including myself! I have heard good things bout the PDP :) G-Luck with that sys! I have the mx1000 and you cant compare it to any other mouse in my opinion it is the bomb!
Just a thought> go with an Antec/Fortron/Enermax/OCZ/PCPower&Cooling if ya gots the $$ ;)

How do you like that mobo? About half the price, and the way to go if you don't want SLI.

EDIT: Forgot to rate! 9/10. Didn't give it a full 10 because you've got some water-cooling setup I've never heard of any of those parts, but who cares as long as it works and doesn't break anything! Have fun!

Won't get everything built until jan 2nd, I will post a full review then. As for the watercooling parts...

The piping is the second best piping next to tygon, and at half the price and 8/9ths of the quality who can say no to it?

The pump is actually the best performing pump on the market, its a rebadged swiftech mcp600.

The waterblock is about the 3rd or 4th best performing block, first being the storm G5, but there is only a 2-3 degree difference and a price difference of around $60, once again an obvious choice.

I don't know if you either know too much about watercooling not to know that or if you have just seen kits, but basically I got all the components to do it myself rather than buying a kit. It's a lot like building your own PC :)
