That build looks great, but if you are going to spend that kind of money.... bump up the video card a notch.

The Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX (although pricey) would not let you down.
Reply:Looks like everything should work. Good job picking a motherboard and CPU combo, saves you a lot of headache if you don't really know what you're doing. The memory and hard drive are correct for the motherboard. You may want to purchase a separate power supply as the ones that come with cases are usually sub-standard or prone to failing.
Reply:gaming comps rely mainly on graphic technology, so if you can spend more on your gcard the better.
Reply:I've really never heard of the ZEROtherm cooler. Thermalright and Zalman are great brands. Zalman has the CNPS 9700 that supposedly works pretty good on dual cores.





As far as the graphics card goes for gaming, the 8600GT is crap. Get a 8800GT. The 256mb version is about $100, but the best price:performance is the 8800GT 512mb for ~$180 after rebate.





I doubt you need 800W, but I'm assuming it's included in the case so that works.





That's all I'd change about that setup.
