I notice you've picked a cheaper processor but a better motherboard, which combination would i get the best performance from? Also the graphics cards are roughly the same price, is the x1900 gt worse than the x1800xt? Thanks for the feedback so far. Also I forgot to say I won't be overclocking this so don't worry about that (I know I probably don't need the antec case for it's cooling or whatever but I like the looks lol)
