Building ultimate custom PC, need help with the list.

^^For the mobo definatley go with the 680i chipset its the latest thing out there.
 
Fisher, you will be able to keep your RAM if you got a motherboard that supports it. But since you are buying a core 2 duo, theres only a few motherboards that support DDR-400 RAM (none with DDR-500, so your RAM would be slower), and they aren't very good. You're gonna have to buy new RAM or buy a shitty motherboard and compromise your old RAM.
 
Wow, $4000? Your build seems ok, but for the money---here's what I like to get:

But doesn't that only work for certain games that support it though? That config sure is a powerhouse huh? I love it.

Can a physics card work side by side with a regular video card?
