Im looking to build my first gaming computer. Unfortunatly my current rig is a Dell and to really upgrade it I would have to swap out my mobo and buy a new case. So I decided to spend a bit more and put together a new one.
Let me know how it looks and if i made any bad decisions on parts or am going overboard with anything. Looking to OC to about 3.6 on air.
Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz
ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V Ver.2.2 / EPS12V version 2.91 SLI Certified
Hawk GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B CPU Cooler
CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

This would be about 1200 for everything not including rebates. Opinions are appreciated, thanks in advance! Oh and if I missed anything feel free to point it out. I have windows currently so its not included.
