If you're going to be gaming, you may be happier with a corded mouse.
Your PSU is very good, but more than you need. A 550W VX model would be sufficient.

^^Agreed with jtt283.

Also, it would be nice to upgrade to 8800GTS 512MB because it's a bit faster and has a better cooler. This is not very important because you will get great cooling anyway with the Antec 900.

I know nothing about Chimei. Is that a good brand?

I agree that 750W is overkill. 550W should be enough.

Also, I'd use DDR2-800 RAM. It's usually enough to overclock the Q6600 to 3.2-3.3GHz, and you'll have better timings if you get CAS 4 RAM (like Crucial Ballistix 4GB, 4-4-4-12).

Concerning the monitor...I've never heard about that brand, and I'd personnally go with a Samsung SyncMaster 2253BW. You pay 30$ more for excellent quality.

Finally, I've heard very bad comments about Vista 64-bit. I'd get the 32-bit, and downgrade from the ultimate edition to save cash. IIRC, you get DX10 in cheaper versions of vista anyway.

Thanks for your responses.

The Chemei? It's a 2x winner of the customer award choice. I got the monitor a few weeks ago, open box. It's awesome and I love it. $206 shipped

I went with the 740PSU because it was only a little bit more than the others on newegg and if I choose to upgrade things or add video cards etc. It's just a little bit of future proofing; if I want extra power I'll have it. Plus there was a combo deal for that and 8800gt which saved me some coin.

So basically the CAS 4 ram is preferred and a wired mouse...for better overclocking and gaming. I'm not really much of a gamer but, I did want to be able to run all the new titles on my rig.

Great PSU don't change it. I have never bought into the theory of having to buy a new PSU everytime I upgrade a video card or CPU because I bought just enough power to run the last setup.

I have come to respect aevm and cisco for their opinions and insight. They really try to help, your choices are great, my Xigmatek 120 lowered my cpu temps by 6 degrees c, and the fan is quiet. Do yourself a favor though and get a decent wired mouse, logitech g-5 is my favorite, check some out. Regardless of your gaming interests, you have designed a cool rig capable of gaming at an enjoyable level.

nussrods, oh yea I have noticed they are spot on too. I am not bashing anyone, I whole heartily appreciate all the opinions both bad and good everyone on this forum has attempted to give me and others.

As I said before, cas 4 mem and wired mouse upgrades are suggestions I plan on taking.

Excellent, congradulations
And you're absolutely correct about PSU
It is not an overkill
