    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 =]
    I dont work for PCS anymore, fix it yourself!

    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.
