this is what im getting in cuple of weeks, didn't order it yet. Just want it for gaming, and File (WAV) transfer and to run Sony ACID and REASON....

anything i can add??

where dose this stand on a scale from 1 to 10??:)
 
A single 7900GS would probably yeild nearly identical performace for less(price, heat, power, etc etc...) That PSU is pretty weak. I can't find specifics, but it's probably not a good gammers PSU, or SLI...
 
Raidmax supplies are on the "BAD" list here for cheapie brand supplies. A 450w or higher will usually see the SLI Ready designation. I wouldn't order a case with a supply included since the lowest grade supplies are usually what are thrown into them. Enermax, Antec, Zalman, Corsair, Silverstone, Fortron Source, and a few others should be looked at for a good 450-550w supply.

Corsair is one brand of memory sponsored at the Asus site and is generally known as a gamer's brand. 2gb is certainly a good amount to handle the demands placed by most of the new games out. The problem there is that this model board runs DDR2 667 not DDR2 800 memory. The specifications can be looked over at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131032

yeah as the other one says, its not about the clock speed, thats not really the factor here. The Core 2 Duo will destroy the Pentium D without a doubt. Stick with a core2duo in your build fella :)
