I don't plan on doing SLI, hence the nForce4 Ultra board.

My main concern is if the XCLIO cables will be long enough to reach the components. My last system had the same exact PSU and the cables were short. If there are any other PSU recommendations that will fit my budget I'll be glad to read about it. Please keep in mind I don't need a top of the line PSU.

I will also like to hear comments in regards to RAM. I know the standard Crucial stuff I have listed above isn't going to be ideal for overclocking, which I plan to do. I wouldn't mind hearing recommendations on other types of RAM. The criteria is it must be 1x 1GB stick.
