Tell me what you think about this build, I should be ordering in about two weeks. Just wanted to see if anyone can spot any compatibility issues or anyone has any suggestions. As far know, everything is good. The RAM is the only thing I'm kinda worried about, from what understand OCZ might have some issues with boards. I checked their website and they said most issues can be resolve by manualy entering RAM timings.

Also, no post suggesting a Celeron system please, no one here is retarted, except maybe you.

With that VGA you might as well get a Celeron.. hahaha. Someone had to say it. :P

Never heard of the PSU and 600W means nothing. If you're going to spend some good cake on a PSU, get a PC P&C. It's the best PSU out there.

Also, it's not the S3 board you want, it's the D3. That's the overclocking monster that's getting all the rave reviews.
 
That RAM should be OK. The 7600GT isn't a bad card, but if it's a gaming system, a 7900/X1900 series card would be a good choice, even if it requires you to cut the CPU down to an E6400.

The comment about the PSU is also perfectly valid, a link to it would be nice.
