General not too bad. What is your budget total? ~$475? I would use a different PSU, if I were you. Here is probably the minimum that I would use for your build. Look at both links.

You know the 8800gt's and 2950's are coming out soon, right? Not sure when your buying, but right now I'd wait a few weeks to see how things pan out. Possible price reductions on current GPU's could happen, thus giving you more $ for other parts or better parts.

My budget is about 500...and you saying I should go for a 8800? or wait for them to come out to get a price reduction on the 8600?..plus I dont understand..if the PSU with the case is 450W why go with a diffrent one that puts out about 380w???

^ and even if i dont need the full 450w..its cheaper to go this route..
