Help me piece together a new amd system

[Circaflex]

Well guys I'm heading over to the dark side in a month or two and i need some help configuring my first amd system. So far ive come up with this but im not sure how great it will be, never dealt with AMD

Case: MountainMods U2-UFO
CPU: AMD 3800+ Venice Core
Mobo: Either the dfi nf4 ultra-d or the new saphire when it comes out, i want to see results first.
Ram: OCZ (1GB) EL DDR PC-3200 Dual Channel Gold VX
Video: ATI x850 XT PE or the r520 if its out?
PSU: PC Power & Cooling 510 Deluxe or the Zippy
HDD: Use from this rip or maybe some raptors
Cooling: Thermochill 120.3 > DTEK WW or g5 if i can get my hands on one> AquaXtreme>Maze4

Both raptors and zippy PSU's are pretty loud.

yea all sounds good, get the raptors, but why the 3800? you can get the cheaper 3500 and overclock it the only diffrence between the chips is the higher multipliers on the 3500 are locked, come to that you could get a 3000+ or a 3200+ but those have even less multipliers and your obviously going for a highend system.
good luck though whatever you go for sounds nice

if your not going to upgrade untill a month or two I would wait for dual core.

Dual core blows. Chips performance is all about 3D for me.
