Thanx,

Looks like an excellent build. I'd like to suggest something better...but I can't.
Personally, I prefer the Dominator RAM, but I'm sure the Crucial will work out as well. In fact, the Crucial looks like a better deal! 
Good luck, and have fun with your build.

FINALLY someone likes my build!! haha
i was looking at the Dominator but i think the heat spreder on them will get in the way of my cpu HS..so on the safe side i went for the Crucial

Is fine that you have to keep the case as long as it allows the 8800 ultra
anyway good luckEdit: for the question of the ram, well is because of the price mostly and the difference isn't that big, is like saying a 8600 gts is faster than a 8800gts because it has higher clocks etc

oh i see what your saying about the case ill check that out in the reviews..
EDIT: "Fits my single 8800GTS. Would probably fit 2 in sli but you may need to remove the drive cage in the front of the case." NewEgg Reviewer
I still would rather get that extra performance for $20-$30 more..

O.K. I'll make one small suggesstion.
Consider going with a full tower case. Why? Chupacabra makes a good point. You might (I'm not sure) have a problem fitting the Ultra into the case. I'm running two GTX's in the Antec 900 (mid tower case) - they barely fit. The GTX's are approximately 11" long. The Ultra's are at least that long, if not longer. Just a small suggestion.

Entirely up to you, my friend. Besides, a mid tower Lian Li, I imagine, is pretty big. You will probably be fine.
If you're statisfied with the case, then yes, go for it.
