All the Right Type 3. I can get KoolDrew or another global moderator to prove it.

You can ask someone else to confirm that our IP addresses aren't the same?...

Yeah, good point.  But, you could spoof an address.
I know you wouldn't, but I'm just saying, don't be suprised if someone suggests that you did.

Actually, I couldn't and wouldn't because I *hate* proxies due to the fact of how slow they are. Other than that, I wouldn't want to post my IP address online anyways, but I'll think about it.

That's a good point.  You never want to post your IP address.  What you could do, so that trackers couldn't get it, is take a pic of it.

Ok, to get back on topic.  :P

Should I overclock my RAM, CPU, or  Graphics Card?

I don't know how, remember this is my fist built computer, and how safe would it be?

Why is your 3000+ 157$? Newegg has it for 141 and ZipZoomFly for 139, although ZipZoomFly is out of it in stock.

OK, this may sound like a stupid question, but here we go.

I have been changing some of my parts around to what I feel is more suitable.  In the process, I decided to go with an SLi compatible motherbord, an ePoX.  But, I have noticed it does not have monitor output on the motherboard.  When setting everything up, will I be able to plug my monitor into my graphics card?  Will I be able to see everything, even though the drivers haven't been installed for it?  (I am talking about during BIOS setup and installing of OS.)

Sorry if this is a very stupid question, it's just that I am new to the computer building scene.

Below is my updated rig:

Just connect your monitor to your video card.  It'll work fine.

I would just save your money and get rid of the SLI motherboard. Even if it is only a $20 difference SLI is still a waste of money. I would also get an Opteron and  the Hitachi 7K drive.
