At this comp build for me and tell me if all the pieces match up fine and it will form a coherent working computer. And pay no mind to the fact I have no hard drive listed, I"m hoping to reuse my old one. Thanks if you can tell me.

    Your mobo has ddr2 1200 RAM support yet the RAM you chose is ddr2 533.

    Trade up to a HD4850 Video Card, it's slightly more money and 1000x better.

    Reading a review of the case, it says the fans are great for cooling the cards but not in the right place for the cpu so you may ant to spend a bit extra on a 3rd party cooler www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx

    Alright, thanks for the feedback. Just two questions. First is it will work when I throw it together unless any parts are DOA right? And do you think the 580w psu would support that system with two HD 4850's in CrossFire?

    I doubt it will be able to crossfire with a 580w power supply.  The 3870 was one of the lowest power consuming video cards in some years and they recommend a 550w power supply to crossfire them.  I would imagine you would need atleast a 650w supply to crossfire the 4850.

    Ah okay. That's too bad, but I won't be crossfiring for a while anyways so I can just as easily replace the PSU then. Thanks for the heads-up.
