How does this setup sound?

looks to be a damn fine system...i'd just really watch your video card, there have been a lot of posts about them dying and what not.

The only change is the video card, getting this one instead.

You might want to tell the man WHY he should switch to the eVGA 7900GT. Do you expect him to blindly take your advise?

ALL Brands of 7900GT's have been crapping out on many people, but eVGA stands out among the crowd and is really stepping up and cross-shipping any damaged cards. Though I got a XFX myself, eVGA would be the way to go if you want to safeguard yourself from a lengthy RMA.

I'd expect him to blindly take his own advice :p .

On a more serious note though, I'd either wait for Core 2 chips, or get AM2 personally. Also there are going to be drastic price cuts for Intel next week.
