I've decided to go with AMD after reading a lot of reviews of their products from both regular users and places like CNet, Kotaku, etc. because it seems that for games like Guild Wars, Aion, Lineage II and Diablo III an i7 is unnecessary overkill.

So after tons of research, this is the build I've come up with that I would desperately love to have some feedback regarding:

Case: Thermaltake V9 Gaming Tower Case
Power Supply: 800 Watt -- Quad SLI Ready
Processor: AMD Phenom™ II X4 940 Black Edition Quad-Core CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology
Processor Cooling: Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooling Fan System Kit
Motherboard: Asus M4A78 PLUS AMD 770/SB700 Chipset w/7.1 Sound, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, Dual PCI-E MB
Memory: 8 GB [2 GB X4] DDR2-800 PC6400 Memory Module Corsair XMS2 Xtreme w/Heat Spreader
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB PCI-Express x16
Hard Drive: 500 GB HARD DRIVE [Serial-ATA-II, 3Gb, 7200 RPM, 16M Cache]
CD-RW/DVD-RW Drive: 22X Dual Format/Double Layer DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Drive
Sound Card: 3D Premium Surround Sound Onboard
Network Card: Onboard LAN Network (Gb or 10/100)
Built-in USB 2.0 Ports
Meter Display: XION Color LCD Thermal Control Panel (it looked cool)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit

I already have a Logitech G11 gaming keyboard, G5 laser gaming mouse, Plantronics gaming headset w/mic and a 24" Dell LCD 5ms widescreen monitor. I'm also planning on getting a D-Link 8 port ethernet switch and one of their wired gaming routers from Newegg once the comp is built.

Once again, thanx for the advice and help you've all given me thus far! ^_^
