Looks fine, except get this RAM. The timings are different, but you won't notice a difference between the two.

And get this PSU.

That way, you'll be able to CF later, and it's more future proof- and it only costs 10$, and you'll save 35$ on the RAM- it's good RAM.

Also, save 40$ by buying the combo deal of the Asus P6T SE and the Intel i7 920.

And, here's a 7$ discount (hey, it's still money) on the RAM and the HD.

Good Luck.

Yea, my friend isn't a big gamer, if he gets more into it he probably will upgrade. Feel free to steal the build :) Ill probably order this Monday next week and build during the week. If you want to see how it turns out just let me know :)
