Hi, I'm a total noob, and I was curious what you all thought of this build. I'm especially curious if there are going to be any memory/CPU/motherboard bottlenecks, as I'm pretty unclear on how the whole bus speed thing works.

Should be no bottlenecking issues with this setup but make sure to only assign one core for most game cause when 2 cores are being use you run into problems as for the mobo ditch the SLI if your not gunna use it right away save yourself some money.
