Looks fine to me. You went a little apeshit on the PSU. But otherwise everything should work pretty well.

No looks fine, surprised about you're graphics card though thought you would have went for more power then a GTX+ with the amount you spent on your system already atleaste two and run in sli, or a GTX260, oh well i suppose you can just buy another 9800 in the future and get bang for your buck... not my choice for the case either i would have went for something a bit simplier like an Antec 1200 or even 900 but thats more personal choice...

So it would be wise to invest a bit more money and get two GTX260's instead?

Haha any other suggestions? I was looking at the Tagan PSU http://www.tagan.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=182&Itemid=89.

 

[the last resort]

yeah, probably, but it really depends on your budget and what resolution you are gaming at. SLI'd 260's would run 1680x1050 more than well enough, and could handle 1920x1200 very well also.

Yea, definitely. The Ultra PSUs are for lack of a better word, ****. Lots of people say to avoid them like the plague. I'm one of those people that used that exact line of PSU, just the 650w version, and spent 3 months trying to figure out why i had horrible system stability issues. Come to find out the PSU was delivering bad power. Keep in mind at the time i had a core 2 e6600 dual core, and a 640mb 8800gts. And this supposed 650w PSU wasn't enough to power that.

If you are intending to do SLI or something along those lines, and you reeeaaally want a 1000w PSU, get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703003

Personally, i would reccomend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703019

PC Power and Cooling is a great company, known for quality products, and the 750w will be more than enough for your setup.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139009 is a really nice PSU

Aye, will also second the corsair PSU's, they're quality as well.
