Final Setup:
Anything last minute?

-Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000BWA Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
-Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive (x2)
-Thermaltake Pure Power W0073RU ATX 520W Power Supply
-OCZ Gold 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) (x2)
-Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
-Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 1066MHz FSB LGA 775
-eVGA 512-P2-N568-AR Geforce 7900GT KO 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card

yes, optical drives taken care of, with wireless as well, same with thermal compound, operating system, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and various utilities.

Computer is being built to be an overall all around well performing computer built for my dad. And so I can game, he can watch movies and put the computer under high loads.

Yes I know 2 of the items are soldout on newegg. But if anyone knows where else to pickup those items or a different product for those tell me.

I would strive to get a conroe sli system. The power of the conroe is largely wasted on a single 7900gt, even if you game at 1600x1200+. Other than that, I wouldn't trust a thermaltake psu. You should buy the antec 550 watt neo HE at bestbuy with the 30% coupon to get it down to around $80.
Edit:I also notice you are missing a sound card, but I presume you already have that covered.

Edit: I also notice you don't have an aftermarket cooler for your video card. Do you have case fans/ cpu fan/ watercooling covered?

Edit: With such an awesome system, not having a raptor will be a great disservice. You can get a 74 gb raptor for around $130 w/ coupon, or a 150gb raptor for around $200 w/ coupon at bestbuy.

Edit: DO you have system security covered? Paid process guard and Nod32 will provide the best protection you can get against rootkits and viruses. It will be so safe that you could probably utilize bit torrent without any reservations.

Edit: An external usb hard drive would go a long way to back up your important data should anything happen. You could also consider one of the new e-sata drives.

Edit: I would reconsider the evga 7900gt and go for two of those $200 bfg 7900gts from bestbuy. Don't worry about overclocking or aftermarket cooling voiding your warranty. I have heard many stories which contribute to the theory of them not caring to use extensive video card forensics.

Edit: Wow 5 edits, i just wanted to make this one the 6th.

Edit: Er, I mean 7th, oh well I guess it's 8 now.
