Finalizing Midrange Gaming Rig Components, looking for advice.

SLI 8800GT instead of the 9600. The 8800GT is quite faster than the 9600 especially at higher res.

Also get the 2 x 2GB DDR2 800 Crucial Ballastix RAM for 2 x $29 from buy.com

Moreover, the Corsair 550VX PSU is sufficient for that setup.

ps: which monitor?

I decided to spend more money on the case, cooling and PSU so I wouldn't have to when I upgrade in the future, hence the 750w psu with energy saving components.

While I could save some money on the memory and upgrade to dual 8800gt's, I can get the OCZ memory for just over $100 here in Canada, which is just a little more expensive than DDR2-800 Ballistix, not quite the $100 difference between two 8800gt's and dual 9600gt's. I basically gave myself a $400 GPU budget and O can get the two 9600GT's with shipping for under that, the cheapest 8800gt set I could find was $60 over, reference clocked.

Despite some premium components that I intend on recycling for future builds, I am on a moderate budget. My biggest concern is if all of these components will work well together and equally as important literally fit together.

Thanks a bunch for the feedback!

Oh, forgot about the monitor: I decided to go with the Samsung 22" 225BW which was featured in ExtremeTech's Bang for your Buck build; it's the biggest monitor I can fit between the shelving of my desk and seems to be decently priced with good features, wish I could go with the 226BW but the bezel on that one is just a few cm too big, the 225BW just barely fits.
