That's for a total of about 760$, which is pretty cheap and I find it to be a pretty good system. I am about to buy, so let me know if you find something better for $.

That video card has been out of stock for quite a while now. PSU is an overkill.
In my opinion for this amount of money there's really no reason not to go with Intel.
2900 Pro outperforms 8800 GTS 320MB in most cases and only costs $265, you could
easily fit it in there. I recommend going with a system like this one:

Good luck.

Heres a little Intel system thrown together for around $700 some with rebates, minus the opticals and soundcard.

I have gotten wonderful advice on these forums, these fella's know their stuff.

Have fun with the new build.
