I was considering these parts from newegg to build my own pc, will the tuniq cooler and 8800gt be too large for the case?

btw - how does the pc as a whole look? good or could be better? and thanks for any help or advice.

Very nice system, the 8800GT and Tuniq should be able to fit inside that case (I have a Zalman CNPS9500LED in a small case, and it's almost the size of the Thermalright Ultra120)

Power supply, erhhh, not really what I would have chosen, maybe the Corsair HX620W or the PC Power & Cooling one would be IMO a better choice.

RAM - I say get the Crucial Ballistix ones, fantastic RAM still with MIR (mail in rebate)

If you are willing to wait, hold out for the new range of quad cores (Q9xx) or the new E8000 series from Intel, supposebly coming this month...

Only thing that you should change is the PSU to a Corsair or a PC Power & Cooling,but since when was there 19"LCD's that displayed 1680x1050?

Yeah i saw 2 monitor's both viewsonic and both 19" but i went with that one cause it supports a higher res.....i guess lolz

and yes i was concerned about the power supply ive heard from multiple people that corsair is the way to go there. also how much will one of these new Processors cost?
