Could someone just quickly take the time to look over this and tell me if this is all compatible within and throughout?
My only fear that I will make a mistake; incompatibility.

How does this build look, I think it is pretty awesome, any comments?
Is it all compatible?
Am I missing any parts at all to make this new PC?
Suggestions to make it better than it is?
 
Great build, except spend less on the motherboard (more like $150), and spend more on the Graphics card.
 
I want to be able to upgrade to quad core in the future, but i also do want to play graphics heavy games like Battlefield 2142, and Flight SImulator X, so is there another motherbaord that can be quadcore for less, and what graphics card then? Can the 7900GS handle these games?

Most motherboards based off of the Intel 965 or Intel 975 chipsets can take quad core processors. I would suggest the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 or the ASUS P5B.

The 7900GS might be able to, but I would recommend stepping it up to at least a X1950 Pro or a X1900XT.
