Some might remeber I posted a few weeks ago with questions about venus vs. venice, what psu to buy and epox vs. dfi. Well I canceled the order I posted and decided to wait a few more weeks till after christmas to order the parts I wanted. The setup is as follows:

Cpu: Opty 144(cacje stepping most likely)
Mobo: DFI ultra-D
Ram corsair xms ddr 500, (bought used from friend when he upgraded to 2gb)
Vcard: rosewill 6600gt 256mb(hehe traded my 9600xt and 1gb ram from my old xp setup for it, card is still in box)
PSU:OCZ powerstream 520W
HS: Sythe Ninja
 
The PSU is a tad overkill for that. A Forton AX500-A for $70-80 should do fine.

Everything else looks great, I was going to say go for a 6800GS, but since you already have that 6600GT, its fine.
 
nice decision ordering after christmas, especially after all the prices have dropped. im surprised you found a 144 since most stores have them backordered. hope you get the stepping you want.

Always liked spending a little extra on the psu so that I won't have to worry about whether or not it can handle what ever I do try in the future.

As far as the 144, tank guys had a total of 34ish in stock at a price I couldn't turn down(still new so i don't know if price quoting is against forum policy).

Anyways hope to start ocing after I figure out what my fan configuration is going to be.
