But i would get a 3800+, the extra 1MB cache will only get you 5fps max on gaming, unless you are using this computer for other things, and GET THE EXPERT SLI DR it is improved for better airflow because of the bigger space between the PCI-Express 16X slots.

I don't know how many times I posted that same link, but it's got impressive specs.

But if you want to be a patient person and wait for something even better to come out, who knows what it could be, then do that,
I see you listing a lot of really sweet parts. But word of advice, KEEP IT COOL. Invest in fans! I can't even stress the importance of buying good high quality fans. Because if you're going to be running SLI, an AMD 64 and a sweet motherboard, then you need to get that sucker cooled down as far as you possibly can.
