Please, check this setup for DAW and gaming

[IDKFA]

I would like to build a new computer. I`m going to setup Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows to use such sequencers as Cubase and LogicPro. So, please, check this speculative configuration and let me know, if it seems to be good or I will have some problems with it:

CPU: Intel "Core i7-870" (2.93ГГц, 4x256КБ+8МБ, EM64T) Socket1156
COOLER: Scythe "Mugen 2 Revision B SCMG-2100"
MOBO: GIGABYTE "GA-P55M-UD4"
RAM: 2x2ГБ DDR3 SDRAM Kingston "ValueRAM" KVR1333D3N9K2/4G (PC10600, 1333МГц, CL9)
HDD: 1000ГБ Samsung "SpinPoint F3 HD103SJ" 7200об./мин., 32МБ (SATA II)
VIDEO: PCI-E 1024МБ HIS "HD 5770 IceQ5 Turbo H577QT1GD" (Radeon HD 5770, DDR5, 2xDVI, HDMI, DP)
(or may be HD 5770 IceQ5 H577Q1GD)?
SOUNDCARD: I`ve got ESI Juli@ as a soundcard for first time using already

I`m still looking for case, but i don`t know, which one will be quite and cool enough.

Any note or advice on this configuration will be very helpfull for me. Thanks! )

Looks like an improved version of my build

Are you still able to find the P55M-UD4 ? This is an almost 'extinct species'

I'd replace the Kingston RAM for G.Skill Eco...

Not sure about the Soundcard, or which GPU will be better among these...

Regarding a case, I love my Antec Designer 500...

Good Luck !

Thanks for recommendation, Lnx2Mac!
Unfortunately, It was not possible to buy Antec Designer 500 and G.Skill Eco RAM with other affordable components in one shop. So I`ve bought a system that is presented in my signature.
Today i was trying to set up MAC OS X on it, but for the present i have not got success. I`m going to ask for help in other thread of this forum. If you know, how to solve my problem, please answer. Anyway, thanks a lot!
