Thanks :D
 
Id say thats almost perfect, only thing id change is too a 620w corsair PSU, just because they have a better rep.

Oh and i second the vote for the slower version of the crucial ram, essentially the same but cheaper...just clocked slower.

Get the Ballistix PC5300 it clocks to 1100MHz, or some G. Skill HZ. Both hit 1000MHz + and the G. Skill tends to be slightly more reliable.

Get the Corsair 520W HX because its modular and cheaper and quieter and as much power as you need unless you plan on getting SLI.

Get the standard OC BFG card instead of the OC2, OC2 is a waste of money seeing as its just overclocked with the exact same hardware, i'm sure you can do that yourself :-)

IMO That case is a horrible ugly peice of, thats personal choice really.
One I can recommend though is the Eclipse (just like everyone else)

Look at the Deathadder instead of the copperhead, they are more comfortable if your right handed and just as good.

Get a SATA DVD drive, any of them will do - they are all pretty similar.

Can't comment on the rest, not a clue about tv cards
 
the psu in your spec is as good as the corsair m8 id keep that one as it has better quality cables
 
Looks good, only thing i would consider changing is the Memory to the 5300 Rated Crucial, savesa a bit of money.

Also the 8800GTX OC2 is a waste to be honest, just get the standard version and clock it.

And the DVD Drives to some SATA DVD Drives. :)
 
I’m chasing up for a new build which will include a PSU.

Most recommendations here tend to be for the Corsair.

I’ve just done a check on a large US retailer, which I can’t name here, where they get a lot of feedback from customers.

Out of 179 comments 94% rated the Corsair 620 as 5 star.

The results [from a smaller sample] for the Enermax show 40% on 5 stars with 35% on 1 star – as low as it gets.

I’m sticking with the Corsair on my shopping list at the moment.
