New System. Please Critique!

[collins8]

Building my new system, and I would appreciate it if you guys would look at it to make sure everything looks good, and I do not make any rookie mistakes. If you guys see any where my money could be spent in a better way, please let me know. I will try to do a middle of the road overclock to get the best performance for my money.
Here it goes.

Intel E6750

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128050

I am unsure on the memory. Prices are great. What do you guys recommend for this setup, and will overclock well. If I go for a rebate, I want to go with a company that will actually ship the rebate.

SAPPHIRE 100212SR Radeon HD 2900PRO 512MB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102706

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148140

CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139001
I already have this power supply. I hope it will be big enough??

What cooler would you guys put on the processor?? This looks OK http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134

Thanks

Yes, that power supply should be enough. If you are doing a "middle of the road" overclock, then a PC 667 will do. OCZ, Corsair, etc. Some people could give you more specific advice. If you are going higher, then PC 800 should be the one.

About the cooling, is the same advice. Mild overclock, That cooler should be ok. Haven't tested myself tho. If you are going higher, then Tuniq Tower or ThermalRight Ultra 120.

What case will you get?

I have the Antec P180 case.

I think I will go with this ram

A friend of mine is offering me his old 8800 GTX card for my system. He is upgrading to the ultra card.
Will my corsiar 520W power supply be OK for this??

Get your friends GTX and yes the 520 will handle it. The 520 is a beast of a PSU so you shouldn't have any problems.

Thanks.
I was a little worried about the 520W power supply.
