Just a few questions.

Is my power supply good enough to run the rig? I will never run 2x video cards.

Processor is OUT OF STOCK at newegg. Is there any other good online vendors you can recommend?

Is my memory going to work with my motherboard?

I ordered the same case I have for my old rig and I like it a lot.
Any other recommendations or final words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. I will not order until tomorrow night so hopefully get some replies by then.

Thank you so much for your time.

**EDIT** Ive updated my motherboard to the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128059

awsome job, to answer ur questions
1. yes your PSU will be plenty to use on a single GFX card setup
2. as far as your processor, try looking on TigerDirect.com, or Frys.com
3. your memory is compatable so no worries.

oh and good luck with your build! if you ever want to do some case mods, or just check out some cool casemods check out http://www.mnpctech.com/ have fun!
 
That motherboard was also one of my choices. I don't know why I didn't pick that board. It is a lot cheaper so that is good but is that only 2 things that my 180 dollar board can do vs the 90 dollar board?

I might consider the motherboard change. Just need to know why the board I picked so much more expensive.
