Doesn't really need a 750w PSU, a nice 450-500w should be more than enough. Otherwise decent system (overpay for most items though) :thumbsup: Belongs more in General Hardware though.

I'd get a cheaper motherboard. You can find plenty of X58 boards for under $200 on Newegg (unless you're ordering from somewhere outside the States).

For the video card, get the XFX Black Edition GTX260, after rebate its the same price as the card you chose (only $5 more before) and XFX has an excellent double lifetime warranty, which has no equal for someone planning to re-sell the card later.

Other components are very nice :thumbsup:
