I don't know about that power supply. I was debating whether to upgrade to a 9800 series and people were unsure whether or not my 550 psu would suffice. And you're running a lot more highgrade components than me.

looks great. only get a sound card if you have nice headphones or a nice set of speakers. i bought a x-fi when i had kinda crappy speakers and i didnt enjoy the soundcard, made me feel like i wasted money, then i got my hd555's and tried them on my bros comp with his soundcard and it was WAY better.

overall great build, the 9800gtx is good enough, the gtx is a beast and unless you do a lot of hardcore gaming i would say the 9800gtx is fine. also i would go with the q9550 instead of getting the q6600 and a gtx 260. i would rather have that nice cpu because gfx cards get outdated really fast.

you could of saved yourself the money and put it together yourself and gotten a sound card If you can read and follow directions it is easy to put a PC together.

But the 550w corsair psu is more than enough to power your rig. Your PC is a nice solid build, enjoy it and get to gaming!

Very nice, make sure to be there when they put it together, AND ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS, it's the only way to learn.
