Default Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

New parts:
Intel i7 3820
ASUS P9X79 LE
Arctic Cooling i30
G.Skill Ripjaws Z DDR3 1600 16GB (4x4)
WD Caviar Black 500 GB HDD (system)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD (audio)
Windows 7 Home Premium

Recycled parts:
ASUS EAH4350 (I think that's the model, I'm away from my computer. Will this even be compatible with the new system?)
CD/DVD drive
SIIG FireWire card
600W PSU
Rack mount computer case
A couple of hard drives from the last computer

I'll be using PTMP 8.something for now and 2 UAD-2 Solos with a ProFire 2626 and Lucid ADA8824. I'll be updating to 9 or 10 when I get more money. Also I probably won't be doing any overclocking.

Anyone seeing anything glaringly wrong with this setup? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm hoping to order the parts by Monday. Thank you.

I don't see anything wrong, but I would probably use the WD Black as my recording drive
