I'm working on a limited budget but here goes:

Venice 3000+
Zalman 7000B AlCu
EP-9NPA+Ultra
BFG 7800GTX
1GB OCZ Platinum EL rev2 (TCCD or TCC5 anyone know about new stuff?)
OCZ Powerstream 420W
Antec SLK-3000B
Vantec NXP-205-BK
Extra Sunon 120mm for the front

Any recommendations? Patriot XBL is my second choice for ram. I've heard that the DFI doesn't pass all the stability tests, etc, has some weird compatibility issues with some ram, aside from the max vcore on the epox only being +.25, will I have issues, or do I need more vcore? Should I get the Zalman 7700 and only have 120mm fans?
 
thats a nice set up.........id change psu you tho, eaither go with modstream 520? i think

or neopower from antec 480 antec, ocz, and pc power&cooling are best psu's on market, but id go with neopower :p

Anything wrong with the 420 watt? I was reading that bfg recommends 26A on the 12 volt rail, and the 420 powerstream supplies 30A. Although I don't get the dual 12 volt on the neo, its only 18A on one and 15A on the other? I only have one hard drive and one optical. The 520 modstream has 26A on 12 volt, but it doesnt have the cool knobs to tweak voltages like the powerstream. The 520 powerstream has 33A (only 3 more than the 420) on 12 volt, and 40A on 5V vs 30A on the 420 powerstream.
 
running the seasonic s12-500 here. absolutely love it, and its silent. svc.com runs good deals on the xp90, it would be another cooling option. have fun with the 7800.

Good CPU

XP-90 + 92mm Panaflo fan for cooling though.

Nothing wrond with DFI boards mostly. If it's bad, return/RMA it. Most people have no problem, and you'll probably get a better OC.

good GPU

I'd get Crucial Value ram. It's $45 for 512mb and $106 for 1GB. Get two of either, depending on your preference.

I also second a Seasonic S12-500. $105 at case-mod.com:

quiet and efficient

Get Panaflo fans. http://www.coolerguys.com/840556001096.html
