More about : system build
1. Coolermaster cm690 is a lot better than your choice of computer, and you will not use the bundled psu anyhow.
2. The best PSUs available now is Corsair, Tagan, Enermax, and Silverstone.
3. Wintec? never heard of that. Corsair, Crucial, Patriot, Mushkin, and Kingston are much better.
4. ECS mobos? Why not something better? ASUS and Gigabyte are my favs.
5. Seagate 500GB 7200.11 32MB.

I agree with everything guanyu said... I like gigabyte mobos and corsair PSUs and memory myself, though crucial will be better if overclocking. The case and HD he suggested would be good too. Also I'd recommend a 8800gts 512mb over the 9800gtx or get an evga card to step up to one of the newer ones coming out soon ![:D]( ":D")
If you don't have plans to SLI I'd go with a P35 board instead of the 650i.
I agree with the other recommendations. 750W is overkill for this system, assuming you don't plan on adding another video card down the road. You should be looking in the 500-600W range.
As esmith said, go with the 8800GTS (G92) 512MB card over the 9800GTX and save a little cash. The 9800GTX isn't much more than an overclocked 8800GTS (G92).
Also, go for a 2x2gb kit for ram rather than 4x1gb. It costs about the same and will leave room for future upgrades. See guanyu's post for good brands.

Get rid of the who the hell knows what that is PSU and buy a Corsair 550VX.
Get rid of that motherboard, 650i is older and does not properly support a lot of things including if you ever went 45nm. ECS is a terrible brand also, one of the worst there is. Do yourself a favor, forget SLI and pick up a Gigabyte DS3-L instead.
For the love of God don't buy that video card right now. 2xx series is coming out soon and will beat that card hands down!
