why spend that much money on a case? you can get nice ones for half the price and dont buy the one with the PSU buy a seperate PSU, youll probably even save money on that alone. and the Venice core on that processor is nice, they overclock like beasts together with DFI boards, and your memory voltage is low too so you can probably overclock that as well. seems like a great system, but yea maybe id get either a slightly fast processor if you can find a venice or at least an SATA hard drive. you could get the extra money from buying a cheaper case.

those 2 would be a nice upgrade for a reasonable price for your system, your motherboard, gfx and RAM are looking nice and paired with these your system will run very nicely.

you forgot the PSU, optical drives, and things like the keyboard and monitor(if you need them).
wats your budget?
also as bigsuace said you might want a bigger HDD, 80gb isnt much.

Good decision on the 7800GT, and on the case, and on the PSU. Bad decision (IMO) on the motherboard becuase if, like you said, want to Overclock it, then DFI's are good Overclocking boards...

I own the Ultra-Infinity, and I currently have my Athlon 64 3500+ at 2.6Ghz with no problems...
