You really went overboard, but if you have the dough it's fine by me. I would get the Q6600 and OC it, or a cheap dual core until Yorkfield is released.

Consider a quad core or waiting for Intel's upcoming 45 nm CPUs. 150 GB is rather limited but that Raptor makes an awesome drive for your OS and games... probably want a cheap 250+ GB to go along with it for your media. I had the Armor (without the side fan) and I'm sure that'll be a great case for what you're doing... personally, I didn't like the look of it (compared to things like an Antec, but I bought it anyways) Most people would tell you that you're just throwing away your money by going the "ultra" route on the video card... same card as a conventional 8800 GTX... just has a factory overclock. Don't know a whole lot about TECs but I have read some favorable reviews on a couple of them... my limited understanding tells me that they'd be very dependent on airflow in the case so I think the 25 cm fan would compliment one nicely. Top to bottom you're picking out brand name components... should make for a trouble-free build. PSU is probably overkill, but what the hell right?
