Any reason for getting the gamer version of the X-fi? XRam doesnt make a blind bit of difference!!
 
What Kind of PSU are you getting? because the 8800 requires 26 amps @ 12V minimum which a lot of 500W and under PSU's don't have, I had to cancel and re order from newegg when i built my computer because I overlooked this fact.
