The following is what I plan to order for a new build, however any opinions or advice is appreciated.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
MOBO: EVGA 122-CK-NF68 Socket 775 nVidia nForce 680i SLi
RAM: OCZ 2GB (2x 1024), Special Ops Edition Dual Channel DDR2 PC2-6400 800mhz
DRIVES: 2x LG GSA-H22N 18X DVD+/-RW
HDD: 2x WD Caviar 320GB SATAII 7200rpm, 16mb buffer
PSU: OCZ GameXStream 700w PSU, Dual GPU, SLI.
CASE: Thermaltake Soprano Mid-Tower (Black)

Mouse/Keyboard: Logitech MX Revolution mouse, Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard

I already have an ATI Radeon X1800XT 512mb DDR3 video card.

Anything I should consider revising?
 
There is better RAM you can get, but all in all, that's a good build.
For that price, I'd get the Corsair HX620 PSU but that one is decent as well.
 
I am sort of limited to items due to the fact that I live in Canada. I will be buying from Canada Computers.

For the price I felt that the RAM in my initial post was good enough for the time being. The mobo I picked should last for quite some time, plus the fact that it has a lifetime warrenty is nice...provided there are not a billion and one exclusions in the fine print.
 
I am now looking for some advice on a good HSF so that I can overclock my E6600. Here is the link the HSF where I will be ordering it from HSF - Canada Computers.

I may try and push it to 3.4ghz like others have mentioned on Newegg that they were able to get it to run stable at on the evga 680i.

Thanks in advance.
