What memory? The Corsair PC3200 in your signature? If so then no, you need DDR2 Ram rather than the current DDR that you have, some PC6400 would be a good choice.

Everything else should be fine although I'm not a great fan of Hiper PSUs as I think there are far better on the market, that said if it is stable and works well then it should cope ok.

Yea thats the ram in my sig , had thought about upgrading the PSU as im told the 8800 and e6600 will eat @ the PSU was looking @ the BFG 800w.

What memory would you think suit best for this spec?

Cellshock PC6400 seems to be pretty good at the moment so it is definitely worth a look.

If you are thinking about SLi then 800w is fine but if not then a Corsair 620w is cheaper and more than sufficient for what you have listed there.
