The link to your video card links to your case. Can you fix that one for us?

Ok, that's a good parts list. I don't think, however, that the XClio 450w power supply - whilst a good quality unit - is up to the job of powering such a powerful video card. We recommend it for systems utilising only mid-range cards. I'd go for the Corsair 520w power supply - it's a VERY high quality unit that's capable of powering any single card on the market:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139001 If you need to cut costs to afford it, then consider getting a cheaper keyboard - I'd never spend close to $100 on one! Any Logitech one would do just fine. Regarding you comments on the 'CPU thingy', under no circumstances should you consider hitting it! The processor drops in very gently. You might have to use some force to attach the heatsink, however. I'd suggest reading some tutorials on the subject. FK |

For the extra SATA power connectors, would need to go up in watts which also give some headroom with the GPU and all the drives. A couple of choices:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371002 With the memory stick reader, install it after Windows is installed, then the drive letters will be in correct order.

A Saitek Eclipse II is a good keyboard.
Also, since you seem to intend on gaming, did you remember to include a mouse (if you do not already have one)?

If your strapped for cash, a Silverstone ST50EF non PLUS version is for $84.99, should be fine with a 8800GTS.
Better yet, there's a XCLIO 600W out for $110, a little more beef then the silverstone if you can afford it. XCLIO 600W Silverstone ST50EF 500W

In terms of pure power on the 12v lines? The Corsair would slightly win. Also going to be quieter, a little better built to.
If you can squeeze the 29 bucks without harming anything important, then I would suggest the Corsair. If not, the Xclio should serve you well too. |

Remember though, the videocard can run perfectly stable at those temps, it will shut itself down before it lets itself die.
However that apevia case doesn't exactly have the best quality or airflow. Its totally up to you though. A coolermaster centurion 5 might be a nice alternative. |

There is no mid here, this looks like a nice gaming computer that will play any game on the market with flying colors. Go for it.
