Even if I had decided to do my own build, I don't think I would have started tinkering to that level right off. Reliability is even more important to me than speed and, though I would trust someone else to do it, I wouldn't have had the gumption to do it myself this time around.

I'm ordering the above build tonight. Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions!

Ken, as I didn't acknowledge the specific suggestion yet, I asked my dealer about the 6-core new CPU and though he's excited about it, evidently it won't be available till next week and I need this system by the weekend... \:\(
