looks like a nice build , make sure the ram has Micron Dp IC's as they oc like mad , i wouldbt buy any other ram for ddr2 . Are you planing water ? air or phase ? you say that you want to oc but those quads get really really hot when you are ocing .

sounds like a heck of a system. Like console said, what type of cooling are you planning on?
How much does that memory run? There is a sale on buffalo firestix in the cyber deal forum...
Also what power supply are you planning on? Its going to have to be a good one if you want sli 8800gtxs with a quad and overclocking.

Memory is going for 165.99 on new egg
I was looking at water cooling as all my little buddies that want to keep me crying about still having an older system will be hurt if i dont do so
So water cooling should be the way to go
:bang head
Any recommandations on Power Supplies i dont have one in mind

I would look into the firestix when they are available, they are a heck of a bang for the buck...
As far as water goes, check into the wcing section of the forums, tons of info there.
I like Silverstone and Zippy power supples, I'd recommend a Silverstone Zeus ST75ZF 750W, that should be able to handle it. You may search in the case & power supply section to see what people with quads and 8800gtxs are using. Another great person to ask on this forum is Super Nade, he knows quite a bit about them.

Enermax Liberty's are great. Your system is going to suck a lot of juice so I would get the best one they have.
