Hey guys.
It's been quite awhile since I've been in the OC game. The rig in my sig is still being used.
I was hoping to get some feedback on the motherboard I've selected, and the other components, if you care to criticize.
First, I'll tell you a little about what I will be using this computer for. (I'll be using Mint 9 as my OS)
I'm not as hard of an OCer as I was years ago. I don't plan on WCing, again. I'm also not willing to spend an extra 200 bucks just to milk out an extra 100-200 MHz.
The components I've selected are:
ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3
AMD Phenom II X3 740 Black Edition
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
SAPPHIRE 100289L Radeon HD 5670 (Redwood) 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
Any suggestions would be appreciated. The above system with case is 700 shipped, which is where I would like to keep it. (Unless a small increase will net me a good performance boost)

- Professional photo editing (the GIMP)
- Video encoding
- WoW (using wine)
- Scientific Computing. This is a big one. I would like to be able to take advantage of the GPU for floating point calcs using OpenCL or stream
