New Build Spec (Anything you'd change)?

Looking to pickup the below following the Intel price cuts, but is there anything people would recommend changing (i.e. faster ram, 2x2GB kit instead of 4x1GB or different motherboard)?

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 "LGA775 Conroe" 3.00GHz (1333FSB)
EVGA nForce 680i SLi (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (122-CK-NF68-A1)
2 x Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator DHX PC2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB)
1 x GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Professional 7.1 Soundcard
Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme (Socket AM2/LGA775) Heatsink + Scythe S-FLEX 1600RPM Ultra Quiet 120mm Fan
Enermax Infiniti 720W EIN720AWT ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU
Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case

Thanks.

Maybe get a more future proof motherboard like the P35 Chipset boards unless your actually planning on going SLI later.

I'm assuming it's a gaming rig. What's your budget? No need for optical or hard drives? OS?

Not sure about SLi (doubtful though), just couldn't find a P35 board that didn't appear to have issues!

Budget isn't really a problem, just looking for a nice setup. Already got optical (DVD-Rom and DVD±RW), hard drives (Western Digital Raptor) and have a copy of Windows Vista (64-bit) ready and waiting.
