My System

Building a new system - Need opinions

I'm builing a new system to replace my laptop.

Main focus will be Gaming.

Target Budget: $1,500.00 USD
I prefer to buy from only one place so it will all come together.

Newegg:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz
Motherboard: Asus P5NSLI
-SLI, c2d, and has decent reviews on Anandtech

Memory: CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 667
-I game with generic memory now and works fine. Corsair will be even better. Plus, I want 2GB and don't have the money to buy the expensive stuff!

Video Card: eVGA GeForce 7950GT 512MB GDDR3 KO Superclocked
-enough said...

Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 Black
-favorite inexpensive case. Plus has over 700 positive reviews on Newegg

Power Supply: COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power 600W
-SLI cert. and a ton of power while from a reputable company

Optical Drive: SAMSUNG 18X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write, LightScribe Technology
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar 320GB SATA 3.0Gb/s
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Pro w/Upgrade Coupon for Vista
Monitor: Optiquest by Viewsonic Q9b-2 Black 19" 8ms
-because I only have a laptop so I need a monitor

Cooling: Arctic Silver 5
Cooling: Silver Heatspreaders for Memory
-to help value memory a little more


So what do ya think? An suggestions?

Thanks!
