Now all you need is a motherboard!

Intel processors have a heat-protection circuit, whereas AMDs don't. Then again, if your HSF is not fully secure on your processor, and you put it on yourself, you deserve to lose a CPU.
Obviously you don't if someone else didn't fit your HSF properly, or the catch breaks, but if the HSF does fall off, it'll hit your AGP/PCI cards as well. So it'll be expensive anyway.

also make sure that the graphics card has more than one output.
Plus if you want to install lots of stuff then you will find 40gb might be a bit small.
