<p>Greetings,</p><p>I'm sure someone will say I'm wrong as soon as I post this, but I prefer Intel chips in the current market for price/performance.  You might want to get a slightly bigger power supply as well.  Something around 550W should give you some breathing room.  I'm not sure about the exact power drain across all of your hardware but 400W seems a little low. </p><p>Besides that, everything looks good to me.</p>

<p>I'm not sure I agree with TSR-DanielH.  I know Intel has some great offerings right now, but having picked up the 7850 Black yesterday, I have to say, it's a really really nice chip, especially at $74.99.  I got mine at Fry's Electronics, because I'm impatient like that, but I believe Newegg has it listed for around $10 less.  Popped it in with 4GB of DDR2 and the new Radeon 4770 ($109) and I'm running at near max settings with 4xAA 8xAF, barely a stutter in Moors.  </p><p>You'll need to do a little tweaking in settings, but you should be screaming in almost every zone.</p><p>-Doobers</p>
