Final review before I make purchase this sunday

After a lot of tweaks and advice from friends, I have chosen a list of parts that amount to $996.00 shipped from newegg.com. The only thing I am worried about is if I have enough power and amps to the rails from my power supply. The ram is also questionable since I will be OCing my processor to at least 3.0 ghz. I also am wondering if the heatsink and video card will fit in the case that I have chose. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you in advance to anyone who can provide me with positive feedback.

for OCing on the P35-DS3L. Nice Build . You might want to consider some Corsair XMS2 ($34 @ newegg after MIR) if you don't plan on OCing the RAM very much. If you do plan on OCing the RAM get some Crucial Ballastix.

I know alot of people love Arctic Silver5, but I got an Artic Cooling Pro 64 cooler for my 4800+ Amd And after 6 months of use I get 28-30*C idle and 40-43*c HEAVY load with the stock paste. I think the intel version is the Arctic Cooler 7. If you're like me and want to save as much cash as you can you might try that. Also a friend of mine just purchased this http://www.newegg.com/product/prod [...] 6817139004 . It's 550watts and seems like a good deal with the rebate. It also has just one 12v rail with 41A on it. I wish this has been out when I put my pc together for this price. I prefer single rails versus mult-12v rails

Looks great, take a look at this PSU;

ARCTIC COOLING MX-2 Thermal Compound

I think he was going with a Thermaltake CL-P0114 120mm CPU Cooler thats why I recommended the compound.
