Alright so this is what my rig is looking like. Please let me know if anything looks bad with my combination of parts. I don't think there are any problems, but just want to make sure I haven't forgot anything. I'll be using this for gaming (oblivion) along with the usual internet surfing and word processing.

New stuff
Antec p180B
Asus p5b deluxe wifi
Intel e6600
scythe infinity
WD raptor 150gb
corsair xms2 ddr2 800 2gb
OCZ gamextreme 700w
Evga 8800gts
samsung 18x dvd burner model # SH-S182M/BEBN

Old stuff
audigy 2 zs
logitech z-5500
logitech wireless keyboard/mouse
dell 15" monitor
dell 19" monitor

I wanted the Asus striker extreme but I need to have this system running without problems 100% by Jan 20th, before i go back to school, and it wasn't coming into stock anytime soon. Because of this, I decided to get a p5b deluxe w/ wifi (I use wifi when I'm at home). I'll use the $170 I saved for possibly a step up to a 8800gtx or a new sound card.
 
You are looking about about 250-300 watts DC there so unless you going going to go SLI with the 8800 series you don't need a 600-700 watt PSU.

Personal preference; I would go with the Zalman 9700NT.
