I am building computers. I need some advice on the motherboard and perhaps some suggestions on the case and PSU. I know that I have two on there. I want suggestions if you have any.

So, I bought a new computer recently. The parts are as follows:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
Inno3D Geforce 8800GT 512MB
Kingston KVR800D2N5K2/2G 2x1GB 800MHz DDR2 kit
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
ANTEC Nine Hundred
Corsair VX550W
Tell me how much it sucks/rules!
Could work as recommendations, too.
Just saying....
I broke the 14k in 3DMark06.
/me iz happiez :D
Should have went with a Core 2 Duo.
Love the tower (Hey I bought the same! :P)
Love the video card (though Inno3D is not cherry picked like eVGA, BFG or XFX brands)
Memory is decent, standard quality
Power supply is good quality
Nice build I'd say. :)
The CPU you have listed is good. Go with the P182, and grab this:

A pretty good bit, especially when you compare Price:Performance.

It's a review of the early phenom cpus, but they have the 6400+ and the 5600+ listed, just remember that you're in between them :P
Oh yeah, I forgot we were comparing the athlon to the C2D. Did you see all the benchmarks? The E6600 woops the phenom and athlon's in gaming.

The 6000+ will actually be a slight bottleneck for the card, but really overall you still get some great performance out of it :)
Might I suggest this memory instead?

4-4-4-12 timings, 4GB kit, 800mhz.
What do you guys think of this for a one-card setup? Evga GTX570?

Thought about it, but Radeon drivers have been pretty unreliable last I read. I would probably get one if I ever found myself needing multiple monitors. Been hearing good things about Nvidia's drivers, 3dvision, physx, and cuda. I thought maybe i'd get that 570 and do a slight overclock to hit the speeds of the 580. I am looking for a single gpu one card setup, nothing over $400. I heard the 570 is a great card?
