I have a AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION processor and a ASUS M3A-H/HDMI motherboard coming from Newegg. Just want to make sure I got things right. Want to make sure I didn't overdo it anywhere.
I will dual boot Ubuntu Linux and Win XP. It will be used for Internet, light gaming (nothing intense] photo and video editing, and will later add a tv card to add DVR from Satellite dish that I plan to network to all TVs. And may start to learn about overclocking. Although I"m not sure overclocking is needed. Anyway I thought I would put this out there and make sure these components will meet my needs and will work well together.
Here's what I ordered.

Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lee
