Because is on sale and with a MIR i think. The 700w is overkill with me too, and if you want to future proof, then go larger. Good luck.
 
Get the OCZ 700W. It's fine. 700W isn't overkill. Your processor is more energy efficient. The Q6600 and it should pair up great. That and a GA-X38-DS4, or a P35-DS3L/DS3R.
 
First, don't bother with the q6600. The Penryns are here and they're better, faster and cheaper. The quad really is a waste, as most software doesn't use it and the extra cores just sit idle. If you're like me, upgrading regularly, it's better to buy a dual core for now and buy a quad when software can actually use all four cores.

MSI motherboards are total garbage. Personally I wouldn't trust an EVGA either. I'd buy an Asus over a Gigabyte, but I guess it comes down to personal choice. For the longest time Gigabyte boards were dogs, easily outperformed by Asus and even Intel boards (and I'm talking HUGE differences in performance). I'm still leary on them.

OCZ doesn't make their own PSUs, so it's a crapshoot. I would buy a high end Antec, Enermax or PP&C.

A 22" LCD for $219? What kind of piece of junk is it? DON'T skimp on the monitor.. You'll be really sorry if you do. Don't forget that the monitor is the thing you stare at all day.

MSI MB is Good compare to PC-Chip, ECS, Jetway...

OCZ GameXStream and StealthXStream are from FSP. It is a good brand.
