I just wondering if someone could comfirm if this setup would be able to work. I just want to know before I buy the parts.

Setup:

Motherboard: ASUS Rampage Formula LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Power supply: BFG Tech 650W ATX12V v2.0/EPS 12V
RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
Graphics card: EVGA 512-P3-N980-AR GeForce 9800 GT Hybrid Power 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
Optical Drive: LG Black 6X Blu-ray Disc Burner & HD DVD-ROM Drive SATA Model GGW-H20LK - OEM
Case: NZXT Apollo

If something isn't right in the setup, i'd like to know on what to replace it with and/or if im forgetting anything. Advice is also helpful too :D

NOTE: I'm still deciding on the OS between Vista or XP Opinon would aslo be helpful.
 
Aside from the case being hideous (but that's just me), everything looks ok to me. Should go together just fine. Enjoy!

Naw, that's not true. Depends on the board. My Rampage Formula is DDR2 and Gigabyte make a DDR2 X48 board as well. Virtually no difference between X38 and X48, however. Just 10 digits and some models require DDR3. :)

I have to say I agree on that... here's some other options if you want them:

That XION looked pretty nice. Before hand I was looking at the NZXT Tempest. But they both look really nice.(The XION Made the apollo look like trash).
I also choose a different power source, its a CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V.
