I don't like the case, the power supply is a no name brand. You should go with PC Power and Cooling or Siverstone or Seasonic. Video card, you may want to wait for the 8800GT to come out soon.

Are you going to ever do SLI? if not then dont get the 680i
8800GTS will be surpassed on monday (more than likely) by a better performing 8800GT
Id look at a better brand name RAM than Kingston (Crucial, Corsair, Partiot, OCZ)

Hey, man, there's nothing wrong with Kingston RAM. Sure, it's not Corsair, but its about 75 bucks cheaper, and performs just as well at rated (ie NOT overclocked) speeds.

You need to buy a cooler man. That Quad is OEM... just letting you know before you order all that and get pissed that it didn't come with a HS. :) (That's a pretty nice buy for the bundle) Take the others' advice though and wait to see what the 8800GT costs and can do. It may save you some $$ and give you more performance.

You'll love that Silencer 750w Quad. It's a fantastic PSU. DON'T CHEAP OUT ON YOUR PSU!!! You don't have to go and buy the Silencer 750 Quad, but buy cheap PSU's die easy and can hurt your system / performance.
