everything looks good except your cpu heatsink.
i would get something beefier for the dual core.
i've gathered from what i've read on the forums that the 7000 doesnt do so hot with dual cores, especially if you plan on overclocking some

maybe go with a xp-120, big typhoon, or cnps9500?
 
I'd recommend getting an Enermax Noisetaker 600w PSU over that Antec one. Antec PSU's are generally pretty weak in my opinion from experience. Don't believe the hype about them, they are certainly nothing special and they will let you down in the long run.

Also, you might wanna look into your case/motherboard selection with regards to compability to whatever heatsink you buy. Some cases and/or motherboards prohibit certain heatsinks due to either capacitors being in the way or the case height being too low.

Just checked out Zalman's website and that Zalman heatsink is compatible with your motherboard:

Click to expand...

I think im gunna go with the 7700 its cheaper and ive heard it works pretty damn good with the X2's
 
Has no one been paying attention?

Every heatsink review I have seen shows only one Zalman outperforming the stock X2 heatsink...and thats the 9500. Overclocking or not.

Your wasting your money, go for a good heatsink (as suggested above) or just save your money.
