The only thing I would change is the PSU.  Get a Seasonic or Fortron.  The ones that come with cases are generally crap.Comments/Advise new computer.
For the GPU part, it doesn%26#39;t matter...You%26#39;ll get a DVD with the OEM Vista!,it%26#39;s not just an install 
Are you going to be overclocking?
The tower doesn%26#39;t come with power supply http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2477938 Its a seperate purchase http://www.nzxt.com/products/precise_550w/And never did overclocking, would have to learn how but for now this seems like a pretty powerful machine for a year or 2.I have a p4 2.53ghz 1gig ram with 6600gt 128meg and can play most stuff still at medium and World of warcraft on max.
No more comments?
I have one....Why are you getting a floppy drive? :P . You probably will never use it. Don%26#39;t waste your money.
[QUOTE=''TugboatTheGreat'']I have one....Why are you getting a floppy drive? :P . You probably will never use it. Don%26#39;t waste your money.[/QUOTE]Your right hehehe. Didn%26#39;t even think about it, they don%26#39;t make anything on floppies anymore. It%26#39;s gone!
I have a floppy drive in my computer, but I don%26#39;t know where I hid the power casble to the floppy, I can take plugs outa my power supply lol, but they are helpful for bios flashes, or my old digital camera that can store 10 imagies on 1 floppy talk about hi quality lol...
Already made a banner for new computer. Came out a little big hehehe.
PSU mate! OCZ/FSP, Corsair/Seasonic, Enermax, Silverstone, Antec.
Lol love the banner, and yeah like everyone else says i would get a 600W psu from a decent supplier, also i would atleast consider dual booting xp as well, you%26#39;re almost guarenteed to have a few problems with vista. I did what you did and installed vista alone on my pc, but then ran into a few problems with BF2142, which ended up with me dual booting xp and vista anyway. You dont have to use it just coz its installe, i only use it for bf anyway, the rest of it runs fine, and vista is a great OS.Other than that your pc looks great! have fun! 
drop the floppy drive and i dunno bout that psu, might want this instead , or an OCZ psu but if you plan on SLI in future make sure the PSU is able to do SLI, lot cant.. id get this just to be sure, slight bit more, but its ready for SLI and OCZ is top quality, good for gaming rig, PSU is very important get a surge protector too 
I do like the power supply you mentioned. As pretty blue light like other one to go with tower but its 26 dollars more.Apart for the 50watts more how superior is it to one i picked?http://www.microbytes.com/computer/ordinateur/product_info.php?cPath=2110200%26products_id=23067http://www.microbytes.com/computer/ordinateur/product_info.php?products_id=24152Will that OCZ one be able to handle a 2nd 8800 gts 640 OC? I plan to go SLI in a year or so.How does Dual booting work? You mean on a 2nd hd?

I plan to go SLI in a year or so.[/QUOTE]Well for one, the OCZ has quad-rails of 18A each vs. the dual railed 18 and 20 amps on the NZXT, so the OCZ is better. The OCZ has higher efficiency as well, 80-83% vs. the NZXT%26#39;s 70%. I%26#39;ll give it to the OCZ, it will handle sli fine for your setup. 
Id recommend this PSU from E-Power. sure, it is not a big brand like Thermaltake, or OCZ, but Tomshardware reviewed one of their PSUs, and It scored pretty high.On newegg.com, there was only 1 PSU of theirs that did not get fantastic reviews, and It was because of a mislableingBut, If you want absolute power, Id recommend this PSU. WOW:o 120amps on the 12V rail.That should easily power any system out there
Well this post wasn%26#39;t for nothing. Disk drive is gone and decided to go with the ocz power supply that Arch_demonz suggested. Bit more expensive than what i%26#39;d picked but seems to be the best in the long run.So probably ordering all this stuff by Friday so if theres any additional comments let me know.Thanks all that helped. :DPS Only worry now is Vista hehehe hope if doesn%26#39;t mess up my games.
