Hey all, this is my first post
So I got a summer job, and by the end of summer I'll have around $1500. I need to build myself a new PC for programming, unix, and such.
How does this look? This will not be for gaming, so stability is my main focus. I'll be trying different OS's on this machine mainly. Programming too

So, how does it look? I'll take my sound card and speakers from my current PC (my parents won't use em' anyways) so that isn't a worry.
I havn't been keeping up with the current mobo scene, but I did hear kt400's are coming out? Should I wait for those? If I did, which cheap cpu\ram would work well and be upgradable later?
Oops! I forgot to mention this is all in canadian funds from ncix.com
