All looks good, I would use a better PSU like
Hiper 580W
12v rails are 20A and 18A instead of 14A and 15A in the Thermaltake

Yeah I have looked into multiple psu's including yours and this one (antac tp3-650) http://www.newegg.com/product/prod [...] 817371001.

Other input is very welcome!! Please reply with any suggestions at all. Thanks!

Also a good PSU. The one I linked to is a modular PSU which allows you to use only the cables you need. Some people swear by that. I have not used one yet.

This exactly. Thermaltake and Antec are very iffy, but Hiper seems very solid.

Everything else in your build looks good

okay so i am getting the hiper PSU as mentioned before.

Say I wanted to put the bfg 8800GTX in there instead of the GTS.. would everything still be all good?

Thanks in advance, this is a big help.

Just be aware that the GTX runs much hotter and uses much more power. But it's up to you.
