Looks ok to me. Just a heads up... you can get the PSU for $64.99 AR from buy.com, $54.99 if you use GCO:

Are you really wanting the E6750 or are you getting one because of the E8400 shortage?

 

[justin45]

more the e8400 being a little pricey as well as being out of stock

The only thing I see missing is a CPU cooler, if your going to overclock you should get one . Here's a good one with a rebate;

looks good. if you can't fit in the extra money for the 8800GTS, then that will be a very good build.
