So I should probably shoot for a slightly less powerful video card? Maybe the 275?

Personally, I would, and you can spend the money you save on something else like games or some other non-pc related thing like girls :P

If you are getting the computer in 3 months, know that the Radeon HD5000 series is supposed to have already been released by that point. In your shoes, I'd shoot for an HD5850 or 5870, or whatever they call them.

As for the Shuttle, it's designed to take the high end parts, but I'd buy that ICE 2 liquid cooler for it to be safe.

Maybe I'm not as worried about heat as I should be, but most of the reviews said that it has very good cooling.

It's Shuttle. It's specifically designed to take what it says it can take, and if any company knows how to make high-end SFF PCs, it's Shuttle. You won't have to worry about much unless you are into overclocking or live in an exceptionally hot area.

Im planning on getting a external hard drive in a few weeks and have settled on this one.
Anyone have any details on iomega or suggestions of what ones i should consider?

Halp.

I've been alooking that this AMD motherboard for a bit and as it says it doesn't support triple Channel Memory or DDR3 1600 - Link:

I was wondering how it would hold up if I put it with this:

Overall, How would this effect the performance and functionality? How would I be limited? Is it not worth it?

[Bhamid]

The memory would be bottlenecked to dual-channel and if you're lucky then the RAM would automatically scale down, but if you're unlucky then you would have to underclock it

The board may not support DDR3 1600 memory at stock, but you can overclock to make use of it's speed.
