OK guys,
I had a small emergency that has taken my time up lately, but I am ready to build my system.
Thanks for all the comments. I have updated my build, but I have a few questions.

I completely forgot about the RAM... Recommendations?
Is the 8800 the best choice, or can i do better and stay in budget?
Let me know if this build is solid? I am drooling over Total War - Empire due out soon, and I want my rig to play with all settings maxed.
Thanks for your knowledge guys, I really appreciate it.
