It seems I dont have AS much money as I would like, so I downgraded some stuff. Let me know what you guys think and if its balanced.

E6400

ASUS P5B
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131030

Seagate Barracuda 320GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148140

8800GTS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130071

G.Skill 2GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231098

Hiper 530W PSU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817128006

BenQ 19" LCD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824014111

I think the only thing that might be bad is my RAM choice. I would like to get the Corsair, but if the G.Skill isn't THAT much worse, Id like to save the $100 instead.

Thanks

It look like a pretty nice set up, I personally would get Corsair, But thats your choice. Also, You might want to get a larger monitor, mabey 25" or so to enjoy that video card at high resolutions.

Wow, your making me jealous. Anywayz, nice setup. However, I have had no experience with "Hiper" power supplies. I suggest getting an Antec.

Overall, once you get the system, it will rock your clothes off.

I have a few suggestions:

Get a different PSU..."Hiper" isn't exactly a trusted brand, and for $90, you can do better than +12V@37A. I'd suggest this one if you can afford it, and if not a nice Antec PSU.

You could still downgrade that graphics card for better moderation...otherwise you're not going to get the performance you want out of the graphics card.

G.Skill ram is okay...I personally, as said above, would go with Corsair, or, alternatively, Crucial, Kinston (only if absolutely necessary), or Patriot. But G.Skill is okay.......

Otherwise it looks good.

What part of the setup is keeping that card from running to its full potential, the RAM? Or in general, does that card just need a really nice computer?

All of the above.

The RAM isn't really limiting it though, just as you said, it generally needs a really nice computer.

And an E6600 to complement that card wouldn't hurt, either.
