Looks fine to me... I would say to go for it.

 

[nukchebi0]

I think it looks fine, but others might have a different outlook.

 

[Chimera6586]

Ummm, I'm sure your aware of this but you don't have any RAM listed...

 

[nukchebi0]

I would highly recommend you get the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro over the current one you have selected.

If you do, the thermal paste is not needed.

Here.

 

[redfin]

Changed to the artic freezer pro 7. Thanks for suggestion!

 

[redfin]

Placed the order and just waiting for them to verify my credit card and call me back!

Pretty pumped!

 

[dobby]

good luck with the build.

Very well balanced system
Just worried about 500W PSU
I hope it is enough
If it was me I'll go for 750W PSU at least
Let others confirm

 

[oushi]

A good 400W one would work for his system. His 500W one will be fine and leave room for future upgrades.

 

[Andrius]

500W is plenty for a system like this : C2D + P35 + 8800GT + 1x HDD + 1x ODD. For a C2Q + 9800GTX Gigabyte recomends 450W (or more).

 

[redfin]

I switched to the OCZ StealthXStream 600W because the 500W version lacked 2 PCI-E connectors which my Galaxy video card rather unusually requires (says its for stability). Also decided to stay with OCZ because its a tier 2 PSU and has good reviews but I Would have rather not wasted power.

 

[Cpt Deadboots]

Corsair also makes excellent PSUs in your price range. Have better internals than OCZ.

Check out the 550 VX on Buy.com (assuming you have not ordered the OCZ yet).

Sweet build!
