First off, it's great to to be back home!
You know... what brought me to AT in the first place was my hardcore geeking out on computer hardware. I built my first (and subsequently second, third, fourth etc. etc...) computer with y'all! And guess what's bringing me back? That's right! I got that itch again!
Speaking of itches, want to know what helped keep me away from here for so long? I contracted a pretty nasty 3-letter VD...OSX /rimshot?
So, yeah...tell me what you guys think of my build! I placed the order last night.
Things I'll be using it for: (CSCI Major) Software development, VMs galore, and moderate gaming.

As for my video card: I thought I researched this enough, but I ended up having a bit of a panic after ordering this:
1 x ($159.99) VGA ASUS EAH5770 CUCORE/2DI/1GD5

Because I've read several times that it over heats so I went back and ordered this card as well and return the CuCore when it arrives:
