Creating a computer with the latest hardware and latest Microsoft operating system
will be "exciting". It may also be very frustrating.
Consider waiting until after Service Pack 1 for Vista is released to reduce the potnetial
for glitches and gotchas. Also, by that time more hardware may have Vista drives,
and more applications will have Vista-compatible versions or patches.
Finally, with a new motherboard, wait 3-6 months for the maker to find errors and
issue updates to the BIOS and the drivers for on-board components.
Or, if you are fearless, and consider this project a "hobby" rather than a quick
path to a super PC, then by all means, drive in.
