I know the list seems excessive, I was just pasting the "check list" I already had running because I'm lazy........I have a LOT of the parts from older systems (like the HD's and all the optical drives/cabling/etc). The more I cruise around different forums and look at reviews, the more I just want to get a FX-57 and a couple of 7800's and be done with it.....money isnt the biggest constraint here so whatever.
