lol why 3.6? the stock speed of 1.8 can already run all games on high lol, get a 8800GTS dude you will regret it, your already spending 300bucks.

Why so much on the RAM? Are looking for GKX?
Looks like one nice, solid rig there slade. Im not sure how much of a gamer you are, so this suggestions might not apply, however, if you use your computer for anything other then gaming you might consider a 7200 rpm 80gig+ storage hdd. I know when I install all of my games it takes upwards of 50+gigs.... but other then the relativly small storage space, its a nice rig, will last you a good while! (and nice ram!)

Slade, you, sir, are an Ebay MASTER! Teach me.... seriously you pretty much got all your stuff for like 30% off NewEgg prices, which are dirt cheap for most e-stores.
