Everything looks fine... I mean, it will work... but first, I have a few questions:

Where are you planning on buying everything at? (Only NewEgg?)
How much -- total -- are you planning on spending on your rig?
What are you going to use your rig for?
What monitor(s) do you have? Are you planning on buying a new one anytime soon?
Is there any particular reason why you want SLI?

Your PSU is rather crap.
You have a SLI motherboard with only one graphics card.
You have an outdated graphics card - 8800GT FTW.

True....

If you don't plan to go SLi in the NEAR future get a P35 chipset based board (Abit IP35 Pro for example), they are better overclockers and much better at handling Quads (I have heard of ppl having problems with quads and i680 based boards). While on the subject of OC'ing, do make sure to get a good thirdparty CPU heatsink if you want to OC -it wouldn't be a bad idea to get one even if you don't OC though...

As for graphicscards Robo is right. Since the appearance of the 8800GT@512MB and lately the 8800GTS@512MB both the 320MB and 640MB 8800GTS cards have become obsolete. Get one of the two -preferably the 8800GTS@512MB, it should fit your budget...

As for the PSU, while I wouldn't call it outright crap, is one thing that I too would change. The Corsair units are great PSUs and the VX550 (non-modular, good price) or the HX520/HX620 (modular, awesome from experience) will supply your system efficiently, quietly and reliably -if you go for quality hardware go don't skimp on the PSU...

Your build looks not so good.

If you don't need SLI, don't bother with an SLI board. If you don't have a 24" 1920x1080 or larger monitor, then you don't need SLI unless you plan on getting one in the next few months.

The CM 650W is really a seventeam 550W, IIRC. So, while its not a bad PSU, don't expect 650W out of it, lol.

The 8800GTS 512MB isn't worth a huge price premium over the 8800GT, IMO, so stick with the 8800GT instead.
