not sure what the build is for, so it might be advantageous to change the RAM down to 4GB, and spend the extra cash on a revision 1 6950 so you can flash it and make it a 6970, and a new cooler so you can overclock the processor.

same build as stulid, but with my changes:

Not the Gigabyte one I specced they're very quiet. It has a custom 3 fan cooler on it which is far superior than the stock solution, although it will dump most of that heat straight into your case so you'll need good airflow.
