I am about place my order for some new parts, and would appriciate if you guys could critique it a bit for me. I am planning to overclock this setup.

ASUS P5B Deluxe / WIFI-AP
Intel Core 2 E6300
BFG 7950 GX2 video card
OCZ GameXStreme 600watt
Seagate 320 g SATA drive (I already have some other HD's as well)
Cosair 2 GB PC-6400 DDR2-800 5-5-5-12 ram
Thermalright Ultra-120 Heatpipe Cooler
Nexus 120MM Real Silent Case Fan (going on the Thermalright, 37 CFM, 22 DBA)
And get a free copy of Ghost Recon:AF to boot from the Intel bundle.

All comes to a little under $2000 CAD, taxes IN.

It's going into an Antec Sonata case (2 X 120 mm fans), and I already have a moniter, DL dvd burner, KB and mouse, etc.

Anything I am missing? Any suggestions, opinions? Negative comments are welcome as well, but please be constructive with them :p The system will primarily be used for gaming (1680X1220 Dell 20.1" ws), some movies, and regular desktop work.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer :)
 
If you're spending that much, might as well get fancy with the hard drives. Do some RAID or Raptors or both.
 
looks good.. but you need a raptor to get the game load times faster. =)
 
Looks like you've pretty much got all your bases covered. Go for it.
 
I'm getting the 320 gig Seagate for $110 CAD, the 75 gb Raptor is around $200. At this time, I feel capacity is more important then the speed increase, and getting both goes well over my budget. Thanks for the suggestion though :)
