looks pretty good, are you planning to OC the CPU? As for the GPU, the 4870 is the best obviously. That would definatly be the card to go with if you have the money. Also, the 750W is wayyy overkill. Even for Xfire 4870's.

With a Corsair PSU, the hx520 or vx550 should be both more than enough for a single graphics card

Get the E8400, not the E6750.

yeah i was going to say, unless your going to OC the E6750 massivly, get the 8400. And the 520HX or vx550 will be good for what you need.

Hey! I like my E6750! Lol, yea I just started OCing it and I think I'm gonna bump it up some more soon. The E8400 would definitely be my choice if I was building today.

HD 4870 all the way (Get the VisionTek model for the lifetime warranty!) .

PS- The 750W psu is a little overkill but I like having a little extra power.(800W here :))

The only thing I can really tell you is becareful with the CPU fan and heatsink. I have it in one of my rigs and two of the push pins didn't fit the right way as long as two others were in. It was on a 680i LT so I don't know if you'll have that problem, heck maybe mine was just defective.

As for your GPU you might as well go with the 4870 unless you're going to SLi a couple 8800GTs.
