I am building computers. I need some advice on the motherboard and perhaps some suggestions on the case and PSU. I know that I have two on there. I want suggestions if you have any.

So, I bought a new computer recently. The parts are as follows:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
Inno3D Geforce 8800GT 512MB
Kingston KVR800D2N5K2/2G 2x1GB 800MHz DDR2 kit
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
ANTEC Nine Hundred
Corsair VX550W
Tell me how much it sucks/rules!
Could work as recommendations, too.
Just saying....
I broke the 14k in 3DMark06.

Should have went with a Core 2 Duo.
Love the tower (Hey I bought the same! )
Love the video card (though Inno3D is not cherry picked like eVGA, BFG or XFX brands)
Memory is decent, standard quality
Power supply is good quality
Nice build I'd say.
The CPU you have listed is good. Go with the P182, and grab this:

A pretty good bit, especially when you compare Price:Performance.

It's a review of the early phenom cpus, but they have the 6400+ and the 5600+ listed, just remember that you're in between them :P

Oh yeah, I forgot we were comparing the athlon to the C2D. Did you see all the benchmarks? The E6600 woops the phenom and athlon's in gaming.
The 6000+ will actually be a slight bottleneck for the card, but really overall you still get some great performance out of it
Might I suggest this memory instead?

4-4-4-12 timings, 4GB kit, 800mhz.
What do you guys think of this for a one-card setup? Evga GTX570?
Thought about it, but Radeon drivers have been pretty unreliable last I read. I would probably get one if I ever found myself needing multiple monitors. Been hearing good things about Nvidia's drivers, 3dvision, physx, and cuda. I thought maybe i'd get that 570 and do a slight overclock to hit the speeds of the 580. I am looking for a single gpu one card setup, nothing over $400. I heard the 570 is a great card?
