Uhh....where are you planning on buying your stuff from? From what I can see those prices are outragous...$272 for a 3200? It's $190 on zipzoomfly...

Everything looks good besides pricing, obviously you know what you want for performance, if a 6600GT is good enough for you that's fine. I would imagine that with an xp-90 (and AS5) and a decent fan you should be able to OC to ~ 2.7ghz or so on air, maybe more maybe less. You should use arctic silver though.

As I've said before...those prices are way too high (especially on cpu/ram/mobo). Anyways I would stick with ddr400, ram timings are a lot more important than frequency despite what most people think.

Im going to take a wild guess and say you are in canada? The XP-90 is $25 at SVC and the XP-120 is only $43 at bestbytecomputers.com. Also, $175 for a 512? Geez, either A) go for winbond UTT @ 150, or B) spend another 25$ and get some TCCD. Also, that OCZ 520 is way high priced.

In fact, everything is high priced. But i guess if youa re from Canada, its ok.

system looks good for some serious gaming! My roomie has the 6600GT and is liking it, though I can't stand to watch anything on his crappy LCD that he purchased last summer.

The only suggestion I would make is pricing around for an ATI x800XL to see what kind of prices you find. If you can find anything that you can swing you'll see a serious performance boost over the 6600GT.

Nonetheless, that set up looks awesome. I'm kind of wishing I'd gone with an A64 setup also, as my rig is a heat beast and not only does it concern me but it drives up the AC cost for my room .

Good luck with the rig and the price searching!
