any suggestions will help. i think the 2nd board supports dual video cards so that would help in the future if i ever decide to buy another one. also i heard you can unlock all four cores on the processor.
I will mostly be playing 1.6 and WoW. so just let me know anything i should change or add. thx
that PSU only has one six pin connector for your GPU, but your GPU needs two six pin connects, so you can either buy another PSU or buy an adapter (recommended)
go with the am3 770 ud3-p mobo since you can unlock all four cores with it, don't know about the other one. you're better off just buying a new card later on that upgrading to SLI since a 6870 will be better than 4870 in SLI.
i'd suggest raidmax smilodon for the case since it's a pretty common case, a lot of space, nice air flow, etc

Go with this hard drive, it's much better.
