What a weird build. Why a 800w PSU, from XION? Why not a qaulity PSU from corsair, seasonic, silverstone or whatever? 600w will be plenty. Why the network card, they don't help at all :p Why the 680i mobo? Not going SLI, are you? Why not a p35 mobo then? What a weird HSF, why not get a real HSF like a thermalright 120 extreme? Why not a qaud btw? What's with the 2tb of HD's worth? And errr, I dunno how that case looks, but whatever :p I hope it's big enough for an ultra.
