    LMAO... that's right.... get a cool case... then you are left with heat problems and slot amount issues... worry about the stats before you worry about the looks. Make sure the case will do what "Good" cases need to do before you look for "Show off" in the case... you can always go back and add neon to it and you can add glass siding... no biggie.

    Go with antec for higher quality.
    Go for Lian Li for still good quality, but also good looks too.

    drop the sound card, the onboard sound on that board should be far more than aufficient, when you buy a top of the line baord you get some extras.

    as for the ram, get cheaper ram if you have no intention of overclocking.

    if you intend to overclock, get the G. Skill ram and an opteron 170 or 175(170 is a lot more bang/$).
    Bona Fide got his opteron 170 to 2.8ghz with onyl a .1V increase and on the AMD forums people are talking about geting opterons to 2.8-3.2ghz a moderate amount though I am sure they would have insane cooling for the upper values.

    one thing you forgot was a HSF.

    I've heard this is rather good, though you would need a roomy case

    for cases, I'd go for that antec, the polished metal is just plain nice.

    DFI, ftw. Fo shizzle. I like the parts, but what kind of budge are you running on? That processor is nearly as much as my whole system!

    the DFI SLI-DR(or the ultra-D if you're willing to mod) is an excellent board. the board he recomended though is currently the "best" board out there, OCs like crazy and it's of great quality.
