I agree with oscaryu1 on most of the components...but here's what I'd change

Q9450 (not out yet, wait MAYBE 1 month)
8800GT (if you want to run SLI, get the 780i mobos, if you don't plan on running SLI, get X38 mobo)

Just my opinion(s)

Good companies like Ultra won't rip you off that much. I think it should work fine... Unless you're going to run a million hard drives and quad SLi or something like that...

Ultra isn't very high on the list of good PSUs (if it's on the good list at all)
