Given that you're going AMD, remember to take an AM3+ mobo and nothing else.
Bulldozer will be out in a few months, and that's the socket it'll use. It's backwards compatible with AM3 CPU's like the Phenom II. Heck, I'd buy a real cheap CPU now as a placeholder and then shell out for a Bulldozer one. I don't see a real point in getting a top-of-the-line Phenom II ATM.

And yeah, the GPU is the only other misstep.
