Everything there seems perfect. Might want to check the length of the case to the video card but, i dont think it would be a problem. Just would be nice to shove that thing into a full tower for little more room: coolermaster haf or 1200 antec in that matter.

dont forget your arctic silver 5 compound

The case will take it, it only just take a 4850 X2 and thats the biggest card on the market so chances are it'll take a 295.

Nice build!!!

Add Vista Home Premium 64-bit OEM.

Depending on the monitor you are using, its likely that GPU is overkill. If you are using smaller than a 24", then consider going for this instead:

I have a copy of Vista ultimate, but thanks for the idea.
Have 2 - 26" monitors, so thinking the video card will be ok.
