you're on with the lian li case, but u should look for one with 120mm fans, more airflow/noise
don't get that thermaltake PSU, go for corsair or seasonic

i'd also rather go for a p35 chipset tho

everything else looks good

Why not the PSU? I've always used Thermaltake psu and so far they've been perfect. I just took away the 650i and put a Gigabyte P35, which is the other board i was looking at.

P35 over the SLI MB = :thumbsup:
Thermatake PS = :roll: Corsair = :thumbsup:
E6550 = What's the point @ $165-$170? :roll:
E4600 @ $130 = :thumbsup:

Overpriced parts for the performance yielded!
a.k.a. small bang for the buck
