Planning to OC ?

Bit under budget here and I can't quite fit the 8800GTX into the budget but I have included an OS so if you don't need that then just chuck in the 8800GTX instead. Everything should allow a good overclock and it would still be very quick at stock speeds.

Would the G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PQ PC2-6400C5 not be a better choice semi-pro. For a gaming system its quite a bit faster.

It seems to have gone down a bit in price since I last looked I think, so yeah it should be worth it although PC5400 would still allow a decent overclock on the CPU either way.
