    Are these specs good?

    Hi! I'm a first time builder and wanted to know what you thought about the selection I made here. I was told to come to XS for useful information, so here's the list:

    Thermaltake Shark
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811133143

    Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
    http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813131517

    Two BFG Tech 7800
    http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814143036

    Enermax 600W PSU
    http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16817194001

    Athlon 64 FX55 Clawhammer
    http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16819103496

    Two Mushkin Redline 2x512 DDR SDRAM
    http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820146392

    Four WD 74gb Raptors

    Creative SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer
    http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16829102171

    Zalman heatsink/fan
    http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16835118118

    The subtotal from Newegg would be $3,862.40 without shipping or tax.

    Trying to keep the total below $5000. I don't necessarily have to purchase from Newegg, this was just a rough plan. Any suggestions on what I should remove/add/replaced would be greatly appreciated.

    If you want to overclock you PC:

    Get a DFI nF4 SLI motherboard, a San Diego cpu (3700/4000+/FX55/FX57)

    Maybe a Vapo LS or Mach2

    It should be a MONSTER

    Alright, thanks for the suggestion. Sorry I didn't see the other thread... It's giving me second thoughts on my current plan.
