I'd echo hatchets build above except I'd opt for mushkin CAS 6 memory which is low profile and now the same cost as CAS 8 memory.

Of also visit benchmarkreviews.com and read their latest CPU cooler roundup

There's a very attractive bundle for the antec illusion case w/ an ea-750 psu right now though the 1200 w/ CP-850 is the better choice if thinking future sli

Also consider the 460 sc which you can read the review foe on the same benchmarkreviews.com site
