Im not paying for the OS as I have an msdn account, and the monitor is actually much cheaper on new egg until the 8th. Other than that, is this an ok build? I worry about the issues with the FX processors and windows 7.

This is my first build, so id like to ensure I wont be disappointed. I also need to save money where it doesn't really matter.

Also, id like to pick up a second video card and xfire them at some point.
