This is a duplicate -- looks like the first time about 10 min ago did not transmit.
I am about to order for my first build, along your recommendations except I will use a AMD 5600 (not 6000) and Windows Vista Ultimate. Reason for the 5600 is the 85 watt max power vs 125 watt for the 6000. Prefer less heat and the speed loss is not that important. I want reliability. Not a gamer. Photos and video are important. Will use the 8800 GTS for the same reason.
Because it is first build, I want maximum written documentation; I even purchased Adrian Wong's Bios Guide and will suscribe to his monthly service until I get and understand BIOS to my satisfaction -- hopefully.
Please comment, pro or con!!! Thanks, zburns.
