Not bad. Keep an eye on Dell for the monitor. I picked up two 23" widescreens for about $114 each a couple months ago. They run specials all the time. Only bad thing about Dell is they require something like 10 dead pixels before they replace it.

Howcome you're getting 2x 4850? For $160 each or $160 in total? If the former, you might as well buy a 5850 since you won't have to deal with crossfire scaling and you also get better 'future proofing', with the option for crossfire 5850 in the future.

I would also say get the Prolimatech Megahalem if you plan to do any serious overclocking as the TRUE probably won't survive much past 3.8/4.0 ghz.

Aside from that, good build. The 930 is awesome and if you get a decent batch, will run with fairly low voltage (I run 4.0 ghz with 1.2v). At stock speed, I managed to get the 930 to just under 1 volt!

Overclocking is majorly simple with those chips too. Generally you can squeeze a nice performance boost without even playing around with the voltage, which always made me sweat a bit.

Just tinker around with the base clock and QPI settings.
