With the new AMD chip that I got lucky enough to win, I plan on building this rig. Please let me know your thoughts or comments as I never built a AMD rig before.

I plan on folding 24/7 with it.

Congrats on the chip.You will really like that case I have one and I really like the looks and the set up.Im going to build another rig as soon as i decide what cpu.Ive had 2 of my older rigs drop dead and I dont wanna spend any time fixing them so it might be awhile till I get my points back up.

It is a nice case. Not to big and plenty of air flow. I already have one so now I will have twins What about the rest of the components? Are they a match and any good? Motherboard, memory are my big concerns.

edit: is this build to good for this cpu? How does it compare to the rig I built with the core i7-860 2.8?

as far as i know, AMD quads dont fold nearly as well as an i7, bigadv or non

for the videocard listed, i'd look into the BIOSTAR 250, i recently got it, and in furmark gets to 58C and 30C idle( running F@H or games, only loads at 45C), and is at the same clocks as the PNY, and its not like you need VRAM when folding so 512 vs 1GB isnt that relevant

the heatpipes get in the way of triple SLI, but you'd save $40 each!
