I think 2 gtx 460 would be overkill for what i need. thats why i went with the gts 450. More than enough for my purposes and much lower power consumption allowing for the 600w psu. This system only requires around 400w at peak.

Youre picking RAM with CAS Latency of 9... get 7 at most...

Also wondering why you went for the X6, not many games are threaded for 6 cores yet (they are just getting around to 4 cores) and you'll see better performance by going for a X4 chip with a higher clock rate
