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. :D 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.
