Is there a psu better thats the same price or lower? how about that raidmax?

I would wait for the ATI 4xxx coming out this month, they are supposed to be great. Besides the powersupply you picked only has 15 amps on the 12v rail, the 8800gts needs 26 amps (I don't know if it has power sharing across the 12v rails, but it is still cutting it close).
The DS3L will support the new 45nm CPUs, but will not support Nehalem coming out later this year. Are you going to over clock at all? Because the DS3L is one mean over clocking board and you do have an excellent cooler picked out.
