New Desktop

[FastMover]

I haven't built a desktop in years (been using laptops for gaming) so I'm a little behind. I'm thinking about building this:

Antec P180
Corsair 620HX ATX12V
G.SKILL 2gb DDR2 800
ASUS P5B Deluxe
eVGA 8800GTS
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7
Creative X-Fi Gamer
Samsung 18x DVD/R
Seagate 250gb 7200.10

I plan on doing a little OCing of the video card and CPU, but probably none with the memory. Few concerns:

Is the memory a good choice?

Also, how is the onboard sound on the Asus? If it isn't terrible I could save $90 and not buy the X-Fi right away.

And finally, is there anyone who has used the Arctic Cooler with the p180? Does it fit ok and all? Thanks guys

Built 4 similar configs recently, 2 with that mainboard (two others with a Gigabyte DS3 and a few 680i), and the onboard is more than acceptable, and not bad for gaming provided you don't use/need EAX 4-5.
