Will this do nicely?

Will this do nicely for mother board and CPU?

Hope to try ROF with it too.

Are you planning on using one graphics card, or two in Crossfire Config? If you plan to use Crossfire in the future I would double check the PCIe specs on that board again. It has 3 PCIe 2.0 slots but if you use two graphics cards, that gets cut to 8x + 8x or 16x + 4x. With 3 cards it's 8x + 8x + 4x. My Abit IN9 32X MAX is the opposite. Slots 1 and 3 run at 16x and slot 2 runs at 8x no matter if you have 1,2, or 3 graphics cards. That way if, in the future, I can afford another 8800GTX I can run them both with no loss of performance in the PCIe area. I'm a firm believer in the old saying "It's better to have and not need, than need and not have"'. Just a thought......
