You better show us some pics when you get it all set up.
You better believe it, turn this house of pc gods to a HOUSE OF LIES!
I would have gone with the Q9300 that just recently released, but the Q6600 (What I have) is still a powerhouse.
Also, which case did you buy? And did you order a third-party heatsink for the CPU or are you going to use the stock cooler?

my fan
Dude, that is one high-end video card! You must be rich :-)
You might want to up the RAM to 3GB for a bit of breathing room (no more than that unless you want to switch to 64-bit Vista for gaming). Good setup though, some solid hardware.
I usually go for separate sound card to take some of the load, to reduce CPU load, but I might be out of date on that (and this system is a beast anyway)
Oh yeah, I second the request for pictures :-) (and performance report!)
I was lucky enough to get me a 64-xp OEM, fuck Vista, that platform reeks of ME, I'll wait for windows 9
Sorry to inform you, but 64 bit XP pretty much sucks worse than Vista. As far as I can see it has less support than Vista x64 and is pretty much the bastard child of XP.
