That all looks pretty good to me except for the psu! Sure you could go with a 750watt, but you don't need it and a good 400-450 watt would do... Also the only difference with a modular psu is you'll have less cables hidden in your case There's also the question of what resolution screen you'll be playing your games on.

Stuff that goes at 1066MHz with those CL5 timings go at 2.1V. A hike to 1.9V is about as much as I'd risk on non-certified designs (heatspreaders or no) but it can give you just that little bit of leverage... only way you can find out how low you can push the latencies is good ol' Trial And Error

Haha see thats a nice chair. I got a shock a few weeks ago, sleepily ambled into a lab in college on saturday morning and they were after getting anti slouch chairs in there. You cannot slouch in the chair, its bloody horrible the seat sticks to your arse so you cant slide down in it.

Oh I know your predicament, in the rig im building at the moment an SSD was my first idea, but after looking around I decided on a normal 40 euro 500gb hd for now and wait till prices drop and what not before buying into the SSD market.
From what I've gathered a cheap SSD is fairly pointless and the performance gains of moving to SSD can be very small to a good quality one. I too have heard ...

I cannot be entirely sure whether the Phenom's support a-symmetric channels in RAM configuration like the i7's do.
If they don't, installing all 3 modules would have your system run in single channel mode (not good).
Sell / swap 1 2GB module for 2x1GB modules, then you can run 3GB per channel, in dual channel mode.

It really depends. What are you doing with your PC or what do you plan to do e.g. overclocking, gaming, video editing etc
If your not doing anything out of the ordinary then changing to any of kits you have listed may result in a slight performance boost as the timings are tighter. Doesnt seem worth the hassle to be honest

Budget? Any prerequisites for the system? (i.e. using Photoshop, must be a 1080p monitor, must be a gaming keyboard, needs to fit into x space, I really want y for SnG...) And yes, self-build is vastly superior to pre-built gaming rigs; you can tailor the build to your own whims specifications and it invariably ends up a helluva lot cheaper!

Rule #1: You can always build better for the same money.
Running through it, it doesn't seem horribly overpriced. Personally, I'd get a better ATI graphics card for hi-res gaming.
Any reviews of the "600 Watt Ultra X-Pro"?
