But why did you get a 8800GTX ?

LOL took the words out of my mouth, everything looks just about perfect apart from the GPU

thats a very nice rig, 9/10, -1 due to the 8800, on such a powerful rig, but then again if you don't need a powerful video card, then you'll be do well with the 8800.
good rig, but that 8800GTX is outdated... i would invest in a better GPU
He said "spare parts". From his old rig?

Everything else looks excellent (couldn't have picked better myself lol), but I would have gotten a different/better PSU. I'm sure it's fine though.
lol thanks guys. I knew I should've said something about my GPU. It's from my old old XPS rig from Dell, which I'm giving to my brother. I don't feel the need to replace/SLI it right now because all my games run fine with it.

I was looking at 4890 and 5770 for a while, but decided not to jump on those... for now.

Oh ya.. I'll take lots of pics too. I'm sure I will need you guys' help while building it for sure.

9/10. It would've gotten 10/10 if it wasn't for that 8800GTX, you should consider getting a better GFX. A 5870 would suit it well

awesome deal on an i7 rig for suree
Looks great even with that 8800GTX I would give it a 9/10, because if you don't need anything else then why upgrade? Just wait for the 5870/5890's to drop in price or Nvidia's new stuff.
