New Computer

I think your build is fine. There is nothing wrong with future proofing if you're willing to pay the price. It's a solid rig.

Well do you have any suggestions then? The current computer I have is about 6 years old, I paid a good chunk of money to put it together with pretty top of the line stuff because I simply don't enjoy upgrading my computer every couple of years, I'll fix up a part here or there as needed but I like knowing that it will last me for quite awhile.

I haven't found the card anywhere cheaper, I went with a more expensive modular power supply actually from the other thread, found the hard drive for 20 bucks cheaper.

I don't know, it just seemed like the jump is being made to DDR3 so I should buy a board/processor/etc. that would be able to last instead of DDR2 that seems to be on its way out? Am I being totally retarded here? Like I said, this is my first serious foray into putting a system together similar to the one I did 6 years ago, with substantial help.
