For a CPU that price you may want to consider going with an Intel e4300/6300 and overclocking it instead, you could get much better performance.

Also a better quality power supply wouldn't hurt. FSP Group makes good and fairly inexpensive PSUs, for example.

That RAM is usually ridiculously expensive. Isn't it like $300+? You can get faster stuff for drastically cheaper from G.Skill, Geil, OCZ, Team Group, Patriot, or other Corsair sticks.

Asus cards are often slightly more expensive that some other brands. The EVGA 7900GS KO comes to mind. Significantly faster and probably cheaper.

Oh oops, I thought you were asking about recommended parts. Just noticed that you already bought the thing. Well it's definitely pretty decent so enjoy.

He was saying that because he thought you were looking for suggestion on a rig you were GOING to buy, not already bought.

All in all its a decent rig. Core 2 and an 8800 would have been better, but only if you could afford it.

Anyway, enjoy the new rig!
