Hey guys just signed up to get your input on this system I put together before I take the plunge....
Im pretty set on the Processor/Motherboard.....but would like to know what you would change otherwise.
Im coming from and ancient Alienware PC circa 1999 with an AGP graphics card and 512 MB rambus which is kinda sad by todays standards but shes still chugging along as I type this. Im looking for something that can handle todays games/Apps and be upgraded in the future as needed....(This rig will be used on a 23in Monitor @1080P/hdmi)......and here we go

Is this OK guys?...im not exactly super strict with the budget, but If I can save Money on something and get the same/better performance Im all ears. Im still coming to grasp with All the different mobos/ram types ect. so any help is appreciated!
edit:1 quick thing...is the step up to a 5870 worth it?...im hoping this thing is up to snuff when crysis 2 comes about without too much upgrading. Ive heard that the 5850's OC like mad though. Thanks again!
