kind pros, please check my xmas specs

[notherdude]

I've built a ton of PCs but it's been a long time since my last build - so any pointers are gladly accepted! I'm willing to spend about $1500. I already have monitor, HD, mouse/keyboard, speakers etc.

1. MOBO:

ASUS P5B Deluxe Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel

2. VID CARD:

BFG Tech BFGR88640GTSE GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail

3. PSU:

OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply - Retail

4. CPU:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6600 - Retail
Model #: BX80557E6600

5. RAM:

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 675 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-5400c4 - Retail
Model #: TWIN2X2048-5400c4

6. COOLER:

ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED 92mm 2 Ball Cooling Fan with Heatsink - Retail


NOTES: I like to OC, fairly aggressivly, but not EXTREME. SLI is prolly remote possibility, maybe down road, but not critical.

questions: on-board sound on this MOBO adequate? Is the PSU overkill? If so what is good alternative?

Thank you so much. I know I could search answers but got to move fast.

looks pretty good, i would change 2 things. 1. that Zalman fan is overpriced for what your getting, buy a scythe infinity or a tunic tower 120 instead, about the same or slightly cheaper, and there much better coolers. 2. if your oc'ing then i would get PC-6400 ram instead, this is pretty good, its pretty much as good as the highend corsair stuff and its a little cheaper.

I agree with apt403 on the HSF... otherwise everything looks super...

Thanks apt403 and crapola. Sadly that particular sythe doesn't appear to be at newegg, oh well, if you really think it rocks that much I'll get it elsewhere. That RAM reccomendation sounds good, cart adjusted. How about the mobo, any thoughts there? Thanks again.

the scythe infinity is on newegg , but it isnt under "scythe infinity" so you have to look around for it. see, its right here. I like the P5B Deluxe, i would stick with it if i where you.

Yea! I see it. Thanks apt403. Looks like I'm set to punch the confirm button. Any last thoughts?

If you dont already have some get a tube of AS5 for the hsf.
