how do you like this setup ?

[Pink Waters]

I am going to buy this setup for my new snow leopard hack, tell me what you think

 

• GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3 motherboard Or GA-P55A-UD3P (which is better?)
   
  the difference between the two as far as I know:
  UD3:
  
  • 4+2 Power phase VRM design
    
  • Alc888 audio
    

  UD3P:

  • 12 Power phase VRM design
    
  • Alc889 audio
    
  • eSATA addition

Having ALC889a audio is preferable, but neither of those boards have that exact codec. It really depends on how much money you want to spend. I wouldn't go for a GTX 470 just yet – while you can get them to work, it takes more effort than a GTX 260 or HD 4870. Everything else looks fine, though your 700W PSU is overkill (I have an X58 system with a Core i7 and my PSU is only 500W).
