Looks pretty good. Also - I think with the Antec 900 using promo code SAVE20CASE you might be able to get 20 % off.

Everything looks OK except for the CPU cooler - the cooler LOOKS awesome, especially in the Antec 900, but it can't handle an overclocked Q6600 for crap. If you plan on clocking it to 3.2 or so you'll be fine - but anything higher and I would recommend a different cooler.

rpm what cooler do you recommend that I get that will be good and look good, I had the xigmatic cpu cooler with the retention bracket, but I was trying to save some money and look for a different cooler, I saw this one and the reviews look good and said it could cool the q6600 good, if you know of a good cooler that I can get hook me up bro, I can always switch the fan out and put another fan on it I believe, but this one came with it so I liked it.

If you need a 550w psu, should get Corsair 550vx at similar price.

word how good is buy.com I have never used them and was kind of wanting to stick with just 1 company to get my stuff from instead of having to track 2 companys, but if they are a good company I might have to check it out, and what is wrong with the rosewill psus?

Nothing wrong with rosewill. Just at $60- $70 price range, Corsair unit stands out.
