Looks good, got everything else already? What are you pairing it all with? And what's it going to be used for?

Id go with a 4870 for graphics but thats more a personal thing. Also this memorys cheaper, faster and has better timings:

thx guys! i already have the psu and other stuff just needed to buy these parts to build it. i'm going to use it for gaming. i was thinking of getting the 4870 but changed my mind for a btx260 because of the physx support. is it worth it?
