I like that case. probably get a bit noisey, maybe not, but that doesnt
bother me that much. Imho you have got what looks to be a real
good setup. I would insure that the mobo is vista ready, if thats the
os you are planning on running. Looks good!
Dont forget a floppy drive, you wont regret it....

I would take a look at a better PSU like this:

Also, wait until the 8800GT comes in stock and get that instead. It will be more powerful than the 8800GTS and cheaper.
