Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Gigabyte GA-DQ6 Version 2
OCZ Platinum 2GB Kit DDR2 RAM 6400
Gainward NX8800GTX
3.5" HDD SATA 300 Seagate 320GB 16MB
Pioneer 111 Dual Layer 16x DVD+-RW OEM BLACK

Call me i will join your mision.

ASUS board BAD --- NEVER--- hmm maybe sometimes.

Everything looks good to me. Gigabyte board is ok with me. Get a eVGA or BFG video card. Gainward never heard of them J.K. PSU - with this setup 600W will do if your going to add another 8800gtx down the road 700W minimum is recommended.

If you can hold out on the GPU until ATI R600s are out, you should be able to get a price drop in the 8800GTX. If you need it now, don't hold back.

Every motherboard will have someone somewhere who doesn't like them.

Look into OCZ GameXstream series for an alternate PSU if you think you will be loading the system much more in the future.
The motherboard looks good but with that RAM you will only get a max of ~420Mhz FSB, given that youre provided adequate cooling of course.

To everyone else:
There isnt such thing as a bad company, only bad products.
Asus is good for Intel motherboards with Intel chipsets only, for the rest is either awful or plain average.
