What size monitor do you have and what games do you play (and at what settings)? What PSU do you plan on using? Why the P5B Deluxe? There are much cheaper solutions that overclock just as well as the P5B Deluxe. Which G.Skill kit is that?
 
what 22inch lcd do you have that runs at 1920x15xx? Most 22inchs are 1600x1024? Also yo should check hot deals as there are better memory options then the G.Skill. Finaly for what you use your machien for you might want to wait till mid July when the q6600 drops in price as Solidworks, and Autodesk will most likely benefit from a quad core.
 
I mixed it up with my dell craptop...its on 1680x1050
For memory I opted for corsair with 50 dollar rebate, they seem to have the best reviews.
I'm going to be using it heavily this summer and cant afford to wait with my crippled leadtech card...
 
I think you made some wise selections.
You would probably be fine with the 320mb 8800gts, but with new games around the corner, and huge texture sizes, the 640mb card is probably a good idea.

If you are a patient person, Intel will be dropping their prices in July. So that may be worth waiting for (If interested, I suggest checking the CPU forum to try to track more details on date and pricing)
 
you should check with powercolor and see if that card is hdcp ready (some but not all x1650's are), even if you dont plan on going hd anytime soon it would make sense to have an hdcp enabled card for an htpc.
