Days from purchasing, need opinions/tech advice

[5thHorseman]

I'm ordering all parts from NewEgg. I have built 3 systems before, so I know how to assemble hardware. I'm ok with basic BIOS functions, but I am not interested in overclocking. So with that in mind, check out my build I'm about to purchase and let me know if there is anything you would change or problems you see. Thanks in advance.

A few changes I would make on that build....

In a nut shell...the corsair is way over priced. this memory down here, or the OCZ is just as good if not better and it's a heck of a lot cheaper. vid card... gtx 285 is the primo. one of those cards for now is plenty. also your psu is way over kill. btw those 285t's use less juice than the gtx 260 and 280 and produce less heat.

ill look into the 285's, but the reason I went with the Dominator memory is...... I looked at the QVL list given by Asus for the Revolution and this was the only 1600 RAM that was supported at 12 GBs
