OK this is the spec im considering but will it all fit and work?
Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case (£68.14)
Is this case deep enough to take the Gcard?
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel Kit (BL2KIT12864AA1065) (£135.11)
Best currently "in stock" ram when I actually place the order i may change it to Geil Black dragon if its in stock, is this a good change?
Scythe Infinity Heatpipe CPU Cooler (Socket 478/754/939/940/AM2/LGA755) (£29.36)
Again will this fit on the Mobo without interfering with the heatsinks on the chipset? would there be any case issues due as well?
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition DVD - OEM - 1Pk (66I-00788) (£64.61)
Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-620HXUK) (£88.11)
Will the cables be long enough? is this a good stable PSU?
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX KO ACS3 SILENT 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (768-P2-E837-AR) (£422.99) Will it fit in the case? I assume the PSU will be enough to drive it.
Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (£146.86)
I want to use a RAID0 setup but understand the Gcard will block some of my SATA ports, is this still possible?
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "LGA775 Kentsfield" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail (£176.24)
If G0 are available when I order I will pick one up but if not im not going to delay my build.
Samsung SH-S203BEBN 20x20 DVD±RW Dual Layer Serial ATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM (£39.92)
After pluging 2 Hds in, in a RAID0 config these will still be on on the same controlers wont thay? I know there is 6 ports some of which will be blocked by my Gcard and i am concerned how this will all work out.
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g) (£7.04)

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB ST3500630AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (£126.88)
2 drives in a RAID0 setup are these still the best choice HD for 500gb drive?
Anyone got any comments or advice?
It is going to be a gaming rig mainly, and i will be doing low levels of OC once im 100% sure of stablility at stock.
