ok so im going to build a new box for dx10 gaming. this is what im thinking about putting together please give me some input

Arctic Cooling Miditower Silentium T2 Pro 500W
Asus - Socket 775 - ATX nForce 650i (P5N-E SLI)
INTEL CORE 2 E6600 2.4GHZ 1066/4M S775
Corsair XMS2 Xtreme 2048MB DDR2 PC2-6400 (TWIN2X2048-6400)
BFG GeForce 8800GTS OC2 Dual-DVI 640MB
Samsung 500GB SATA II NCQ (7200RPM / 16MB Cache / SATA II)

ok so im going with built-in psu i know thats not recommended but im thinking arctic cooling can be trusted, or not? also i know r600 is coming out soon but im an nvidia guy so... :p

The PSU is good, but like many it is over-rated. It is a rebadged Seasonic 350W. It barely has power for a 7900 rig. Rated at 17A, single Rail. I am thinking look some more, the product got a poor review

If it's for a family pc, it's ok. I wouldn't use ANY bundled psu in my main rig.

You can get a Fortron/Hiper 450w-500w for cheap, & they're more reliable than most bundled ones.
