Looks great exept i would change the following.

Cpu fan.....that one you choose doesnt look very good quality,infact i would expect it to be worser than the stock Intel fan :o

i know its more but i think you would definatly be better purchasing a better fan

ThermalTake Golden Orb II / Socket 939/754/775 / Copper Core / CPU Cooling Fan 45 Users Rated

OR

OCZ / Vindicator / Socket 754/939/940/AM2/775 / Copper Core / CPU Cooler
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2987771&CatId=1588

Also Is the 8800GT that much more than the 9600gt Where you live?

Actually I was looking at the EVGA GeForce 8800GT and think it would be a better buy.

So do I. But I'm a bit of a fanboy, what can you do ;)? Also, (to me, anyways) it just seemed kinda weird that someone would get a 45nm quad for a gaming rig and pair it with a mid-range graphics card...
