New Build..advice sought :)

I am thinking about building a new rig. I will be selling my old rig for $900 just an FYI. I hope this wish list will show up for you guys. I want to shoot for 3.2-3.4 on the CPU as well.

Edit: See specs in post below since link didnt work 🙂

My main concern is the PSU and Ram so if you have any cheaper solutions im all ears.

I already have this PSU would it be adequete still? http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817104954

Thanks

 
Howdy, you saved your wishlist at NewEgg which means we would need your name and password to view it. 🙂 Just copy and paste to the forum.

P.S. it's "advice sought"
 
Depending on what you are filling your system with, that PSU should be fine. If you have a lot of hard drives or a power hungry GPU, you may need a little more.
 
Can't see the rest of it but it hardly matters, a good 350-400 watt PSU will easily power any single CPU non SLI/Crossfire system.
 
Ok lets try this 🙂

Or would this PSU be good enough since i already have one?

And maybe some better cheaper ram?


 
looks damn good, me personally i'd rather get the 8800GTS, but thats me, if ya got the extra cash, what the heck, right...balls to the walls.
you may want to get your memory, Crucial Ballistix, over @ ZipZoomZly.com, they have a 40.00 rebate, to help cut the cost on the 8800GTX.
Have fun puttin that rig together!!
Good Luck

[edit]
hey one thing that i did notice was that, 8800gtx has 2 pci-e 6-pin connectors, but your old PSU has 1....maybe you would be better off with that new Corsair PSU since that has 2 connectors, or at least that be some info to check out, before you buy.
