64 bit vista is SLOWER than 32 bit and requires all signed drivers. 600 is ok, but 650-750 would be much better with 8800. Everything else looks great, maybe raptor drives. Save money on the OS, get premium o business. and spend on a better power supply if you want the 8800 or wait til July when the vid card prices drop and they will almost certainly issue a 8900 or 8800GS

OH My! I'm envious. Great set up there. It deserves an Antec, Coolermaster or Lian Li aluminum case.
Just make sure you have dual +12V rails on the power supply. Your video card requires (>100 watts) more juice than your E6600.

Looks good but, I would get the OEM E6600 then get a Thermaltake or Zalman heatsink as the stock one it brings is kind of weak. ( I know, I have a E6600) and some Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. Also would go for Corsair or Kingston RAM.
Good luck on your new build and if you have further questions please ask. :)

Wow...competitive price!Well..may be you should get 700w-850w psu instead of 500w for your future upgrade[SLI ready] ,bigger wattage is always better.Perhaps with that high wattage,you might look for cooler as well.
