The only thing I can suggest is that you go with the nForce2 chipset instead of the KT400, and you buy 2 sticks of memory to take advantage of it's dual-bank architecture.

forget about the KT400. Go with the nforce2 🙂

If you're going to spend that much on a new system anyway, I'd spend a few bucks more and buy the WD hard drive with the 8mb cache. It's noticeably faster. I'd also go with an Antec case and power supply, but that's just my preference. Sounds like a hot system to me!

What nForce 2 boards would you recommend? i'm looking for a board thats stable and upgrade friendly with tons of neat features

Anand will be reviewing nforce2 motherboards within a week. Chieftech=Antec case but power supply will differ.
