=TOTAL= $1,284.86

solid? all advise is appreciated.

THANKS.
 
The rig looks solid as a whole, but consider getting some of the parts from stores other than NewEgg. ZipZoomFly, ClubIT, eWiz, and Mwave are a few of the places to consider. The benefits from shopping around (just two or three places, as compared to just NewEgg) come from lower prices, various rebates, and/or free shipping.

Additionally, Microcenter has a deal on the E8400 -- the replacement to the E6750 -- for $200. See if you could jump on that deal first.
 
looks pretty good i'd look into getting a bigger case, maybe the bigger antecs or the coolermaster cm 690, i just built a comp. with this case and was impressed, also i think its on sale go look in hot deals. the evga 8800gts 512 is the same price after rebate at newegg.
 
Looks soild. However, if you're a light gamer, you can get a cheaper video card and it will be more than enough for your needs. That superclocked 8800GT for $260, although a great card, you can get a standard clock version for less than that. The MSI 8800GT is at $200 after rebates. Also, 9600GT for $180 at most places should be more than enough for you if you're a light gamer.
