Hey guys, I was wondering what you thought of my new build, I'm only upgrading the MOBO, Memory and CPU as I feel everything else I have is adequate.

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo Socket
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103913

Price: $460.00 CAD inluding shipping & tax

My current components

PC Power and Cooling 700W silencer PSU
Asus 5850 1GB video card.
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200RPM HDD

I was just wondering if those are good additions for the price, I read review on all them and I like the upgradability that Gigabyte board gives me, such as adding another 8 GB of ram or a 2nd video card some wheres done the line.

That motherboard is also Bulldozer ready if you feel the need to upgrade from six to eight cores in the future.

I also want to upgrade my coolermaster centurion case to the antec df-85 sometime in the future, when funds become more readily available.

Also, I'm wondering if I should wait until the bulldozers come out, to see what they offer and how they compare to AMD's current line of Thuban chips

I might also suggest this case: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233.  I own two of these.

This is a good, possibly better alternative as well: http://www.amazon.ca/Cooler-Master-RC-922M-KKN1-GP-Tower-Black/dp/B0026FCI2U/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318372332&sr=8-1-fkmr1.
