Does it have another name than just Gainward?

p.s.: at least the 8800 and 9800 have 2x DVI. My gainward has.

1. Fast... call em and say you wanna have 2x4GB not 2x2GB. (little more bucks, MUCH more speed, esp. for Music production)
2. Fast... Also call em and buy another drive... why buying that drive? Buy a Sony Optiarc... here wiki/index.php/Optical_Disc_Drive_Database ... or one of the LGs

Besides that, the rest looks good

Look at my second build with H55M-UD2H.
This mobo has a both FW and USB (3) ports.

With a Scythe Mugen II rev. B cooler and a Vapor-X GPU inside a Cooler Master Mystique aluminium case, I got an extremely quiet machine.

I will be investing in more RAM soon, just need to get the machine built first (being a student makes my finances very strict) ...... I will most probably loose the 2x2gb in a couple of month to make way for 2x4gb.....

As for the Drive i have always used Pioneer equipement so i trust there stuff, if i have issues then i will loose it & change to the Sony Optiarc

Thanks man

About Pioneer DVD writers I can say that they're undoubtedly good stuff but with my hackintosh based on X58A-UD3R rev. 2 sometimes my DVR 218L goes sleeping and I'm forced to "resume" it with Toast, pretending to write some data... In fact when it sleeps there's no way to open it.
Perhaps, Sony Optiarc don't have this issue...
