fantastic choices there 
only thing I would say is...look at the 965 mobos instead of the 975 - they're cheaper and better (according to tomshardware.co.uk)...and if you save money you might be able to bump up the graphics to a 640 mb

I was thkinking of getting myself one of these : hxxp://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... 11&subcat=
I wouldnt use on board sound as the cpu has to do most of the donkey work (ie the on baord sound is majority software codec with a lil hardware) seperate cards have on bouard sound processors that do the hard work so your cpu dosent have to..
Also check the reviews on the ocuk site above, about all the people that went from onboard sound to this card _________________

That soundcards about £20 less, and in the test in custom pc, it had about 1-2fps difference only when the game was maxed or almost at max' on graphics settings.
I have a soundacrd in my new one, just becuase as Arma says it uses some of the CPU for processing, plus I tend to use the pc as a media centre as well.
The other thing is for the thirty odd quid I paid for it, I thought might as well get it now, rather than having to reach under my desk, unplug all the wires, fiddle inside case etc, hassle.
edit.
Actually the test was between a stock x-fi music, abnd the fatality version, so mebbe there is a big difference.
Also I'd be more tempted by the 965 chipset as well.
