New Computer- Please advise

I am looking to put my old PC out to pasture and am trying to build a new one myself. After digging around here I think that this would be a pretty good direction to start in and would still leave room for more upgrades in the future. If you would be so kind as to let me know what you think and tell me if I've left anything out, it would be much appreciated.

advise request for buying a pre

Just setting up my own studio for the first time. I need some advice on buying a pre and perhaps compressor. Plan to mic classical guitar and vocals w/ a U87 . Used a Brent Averill before, liked it but a little pricy. The FMR audio RNP looks good but how does it sound? Other ideas? thanks in advance.

advise on this mobo/cpu/memory upgrade

After pondering my current setup and doing some research, I am considering upgrading my rig to the following specs. Does anyone have any advice or opinions? Will the retail fan be sufficient, does thermal grease really help? This will go into an Antec PerformancePlus case with 4 cooling fans. 1 front, 1 side and 2 back. I have an Aardvark Q10 soundcard, if that matters.
