Haven't built a new PC for 4/5 years...time to get the cash out...need (for games) :-
DX10, so 8800 with VISTA
CPU - 4300
mboard to support RAID and SLI(for later possible expansion)
I'd have liked to get raptors but couldn't squeeze them in. Comments please.

Corsair 620W would be a better choice. A good cooler for the cpu too as they are said to overlclock great, Tuniq Tower maybe.
 
Good spec.

Id get the PC7+ in Black if it was me, great looking case.

DS3 could be a better option for the motherboard.

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C5 800MHz Value DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

Might be better to get that.

I think Asus P5N-E Sli is a better and more simplified clocker than the DS3, i have the Asus, 4300, OCZ and sitting here with 3.2 straight out the box. Just changed the bios settings and got 8 hours prime straight. Still a lot more headroom for overclocking too.

Look in the Asus P5N-E thread in the mobo section, the general consensus is that the Asus is now the better overclocking mobo for the price!
