Fine parts selection there TEEB. Should be a powerful system. The 7600GT is more than sufficient for a non-serious gamer.
The only thing I'd question is the thermaltake power supply. Whilst its probably just fine, I'd personally go for a Fortron unit, like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104934 You could even get away with the 450w version, but it's out of stock at Newegg. FK

Which exact model of crucial memory?
I tend to be wary when dealing with Crucial and the Asus P5B due to the motherboard's issue with high voltage ram. Which tends to be a major characteristic of some crucial memory. And for the powersupply, you really dont need more then this: Enhance 400w $57 or Sunbeam NUUO 450W $50

[QUOTE=Mr.Ferrari]Which exact model of crucial memory?
CRUCIAL DDRII 128X64-667 CL5 1.8v I have heard of ram problems with this board. But, My supplier's tech support says there are no such problems. Can any body elaborate on this? |

That memory *should* be fine.
P5B is just very picky when it comes to ram. However the major issue was it having the inability to provide high memory voltage. Some crucial models require 2.2v at stock speed. Which the p5b cannot provide. |

I have experienced Corsair ValueSelect DDR2 667 memory working first hand in my own system. I'd go for that.
