Whenever I build a computer, I consider the motherboard the "foundation" and I choose
it carefully.
If using an Intel processor my first choice in mobos is Intel, but if I don't find
what I like (sometimes the selection can be a little thin), I look at Asus next.
If using an AMD processor my first choice is always an Asus motherboard.
With you specs you won't see this problem, but if you had chosen a mobo with say
a certain nVidia chipset, you would have found out like I did that there is a curious
incompatibility with some nVidia chipsets and the Lite-On DVD burner you chose, in
that when connected to certain nVidia chipsets the Lit-On will not allow booting
the computer from the Vista DVD. I RMA'd the on I had am waiting for the replacement
from Lite-On, they will be sending me a different model that does not have that curious
incompatibility.
I would think that your proposed system would give you at least a 4.5 on the Windows
Vista Experience index.
