I will be buying these parts for my computer. I will be overclocking so I will get an aftermarket cooler later

This case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119077

Hard drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822144701

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814130082

Optical Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16827135143

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817341010

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820231098

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813128059

And this Proc': http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819115014

So, does any one have anything to change. The price is $847.95 INCLUDING shiping, so I'd like to keep it under $850 with shipping. Also, I heard that eVga's warranty covers overclocking, but I can't find the page on the website that says that. Could someone link me to it. Oh, and I'll be playing at 10*7

You want an 8800GTS for 10x7 gaming? I'd seriously consider a new monitor before an aftermarket cooler, since you should be able to get that processor close to or above 3.0GHz stable with the stock cooler.

The rig itself looks good, although I'd choose a different power supply. Not that the one you picked is terrible or anything, but I'd just go with a modular 500w unit without any blue lights, and slightly higher efficiency/build quality.

Yeah, I plan on playing with 8 AA and16 AF on games like OblivionuntilIget the 22 inch Samsung. That PSU doesn't have blue lights and I'm kinda partial to the quad 12 volt rails, but if modular is a must, I guess I would go with this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817194003

i've just built my own rig and i had a normal PSU, it would have been quite a bit easyer with moduler cabling i think because cable mangement is a problem

get a better processor, conroes are quite cheap now. you might want to change that optical drive i've got an ASUS one with lightscribe (i know it's not exactly the same) and it works fine but is quite loud when spinning (loudest component i have)

check the gigabyte website for compatiblilty, they're very good at telling you what will work together
