I would change the motherboard to a p35 chipset if your not going sli and i would also be tempted to change the power supply also to something like the corsair hz or enermax infiniti.

so somthing like this:

Q6600

Abit IP35 Pro
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127030&Tpk=Abit%2bIP35%2bPro

MSI 8800 Ultra
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127288

CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139002

Everything elce looks good.

I can't belive no one has said that's overkill yet...


My reccomendations-


(2) 2900XT 1gb Crossfire
Intel Q6600
Asus P5K3 Deluxe
Corsair XMS3 1333 DDR3
Soundblaster X-Fi Fatal1ty
Coolermaster Stacker 830
Silverstone OP1000
(2) 250gb hd's for RAID0


---OR---

(2) 8800GTX SLI
Intel Q6600
Asus P5N32-E
2gb G.Skill HZ
Silverstone OP1000
Soundblaster X-Fi Fatal1ty
Coolermaster Stacker 830
(2) 250gb hd's for RAID0


id get one of those, getting a single ultra is not worth the money at all

Check out (http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=49&page_num=3) the Silverstone OP1000's ripple on jonnyguru... its awful compared to the PC P&C 1kw.

I dont know what the price difference is, but to me, I think it would be worth it. The Silverstone is nearing the 50mv ripple limit on the +5v.

Im not bashing Silverstone as a company at all, just the OP1000. ;)
I am ordering an OP650 tomorrow. :up:
