PS what is a good CPU heatsink for the 940 BE?

That Sir, looks like a very solid reliable Build.
I have never used G.SKill Memory, but many people here have and it should be just fine for what you have there.

I would suggest picking up an Extra 120mm Fan or Two, to mount on the Side/Bottom of that Case.
It will help with your Temps.

I assume you are going with the Stock Cooler?
If you are going to do some Overclocking in the Future, I would suggest an Aftermarket Heatsink, like the ZeroTherm NV120 Nirvana, or something similar.

Good Luck with the Build!

Why get an crossfire motherboard with a Nvidia graphic card?

[MSF]

Because i have no intention of going crossfire or sli.

Good build, chipset and CPU made by AMD so it should work......All true than for that price you can have also an solid Intel . probably I can't forget when you have to choose those VIA and SIS chipset if you want an AMD .

Excellent build. I recommend the OCZ Vendetta 2 for the CPU cooler.

You might wanna check out NCIX's deals tonight before you order. Last week's deals were really good. They even had the GTX275 for $275.

Also, don't forget to price match.

I assume you're gaming on a 22" or 24" monitor?

Have fun with your new computer, it's a killer build.

Maybe an extra fan for good airflow in the CM690?

Like geokilla, take a look at NCIX's sale. I suggest you order from them and pricematch everything.
