Hi and welcome to the forums!

Your selections look pretty good to me. Any particular reason you wish to go with the Crucial SSD?

If you are going to hold out for Bulldozer, then investing such a large amount of money on an i7 platform does not make sense (unless you have deep pockets). No news yet on Bulldozer, but I would be surprised if it can beat the i7s.

You probably want a new-gen SSD, Intel 510, OCZ Solid/Vertex/Agility 3, Crucial has a version out but there were recalls.

Don't get a nearly $400 mobo and throw that money at a better SSD is my suggestion. The new ones do 500MB up/down and are very reliable. The Agility 3 is a really good priced unit.

In October you will have more options as BD will be out. It looks right now like BD is = or better than SB per $ spent but we still don't know.
