Looks nice, if this is a gaming rig the PSU is overkill, maybe the Corsair 850w? Also is its just a gaming rig lose the soundcard and buy 4 more games =]

Its not only for gaming, im going to use it for engineering cad programs as well, and later on i will connect to good sound system, would psu 850W be enough if im gona add another graphics card later on??

Ye not much point in the s card, unless youre doing msuic production or something?

Good choice on the 64mb cached drives.

Cant really see anything wrong with this rig.
