First of all, what's your cap at? I set mine at $1K but slowly shaving the costs down by waiting on sales and hookups.

What do you plan to do with that mobo Chris?

Gigabyte is very solid when it comes to overclocking and I'd imagine that the DS3R is probably on the extreme end of that but it's very selective about RAM. I don't think the the RAM you bought will be working well (if at all) with that board. If you're in the $1.2K to $1.5K ballpark when that'll be a solid board but invest in great memory. I recommend ditching PC6400 for PC8500 instead; 2GB PC8500 generally outperforms 4GB PC6400 and it's going to be status quo memory within a year or two.

The Dominator listed in my build is around $55 after MIR so give it a look.
