Nice build but where is your ssd?
Don't rub it in now 

Since adding an ssd to my rig I have never looked back. I was so impressed I bought another one. The difference is like night and day.

I couldn't agree more but you still need to have the available finances in place to affford it.

I did buy last week, and I didn't see this page before. I'm happy now

I'm still using F5 bios version, there is no problem for now. I did also overclock to AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE; Here is my system

GA-890FXA-UD5 (rev2.0)
AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE (3400Mhz)
MSI HD 6870 Twin Frozr II
Kingston Hyperx 1600 4GB
Tagan 480 W
CM Storm Scout

added Sunbeam Core-Contact, AMD's fan sound was terrible : http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/sunbeam_corecontactfreezer/
