Which games are you planning on playing?

HL 2
WOW

I think the 9600 Pro will have a hard time running HL2 at a decent resolution. You might want to consider paying the extra money for the All in Wonder X800 XL or X1800 XL.

I don't believe you have an AGP slot on that board.

I don't think you'll find the Antec Overture to be a small case. It does have an odd layout but I find that mine has plenty of room to work with. You may have issues with some heatsinks and the drive cage in the back but if you mount your drive in the front and unmount the rear drive cage you should be able to avoid that problem.

One question, why get a sli capable board if your gonna run ATI vid cards? Why not a crossfire or Nvidia vid card for upgradability?

That's a brilliant question KK.
