I would see to get at least a 4850, rather than the 4770. They're just so cheap nowdays. Also, consider going with the xigmatek series coolers. Also, why go DDR 1600, there is little to no difference in comparison to previous specification, thus saving a little money to a better gfx card.

Great choice on power supply btw.

Dont like the Antec 300. At all.

Aside from that, looks fine to me. DDR3 is affordable now, so I say go for it.

You could also save a few bucks if you wanted to and try the windows7 release client for free... at least for a while.
The sunbeam is alright, but you could possibly find a better cooler (true/megahalem/dark knight).

I detect massive win in this post. Windows 7 RC + Linux FTW!

Looks good. Oced X3 may take 190w and 4770 is a 80w GPU so you can get Corsair 550vx if this can save some money.
