Opinions on new rig
Hey everyone.
Been awhile since I posted in this forum. Was hoping on some feedback on this system that I am very close to pulling the trigger on. This will be the first setup I have put together completely by myself. Would love any feedback you might have or any opinions regarding any components. Mostly used for intensive applications (encoding videos, photoshop stuff, etc)

Still missing a sound card and video card (Monitor is an acer 22" widescreen)
Was thinking about the 8800GT that Lasereth has been praising. I have a soundblaster x-fi on my old system and found that I very rarely need anything so good so I'm not quite sure which way to go on that.
The floor is yours, I would appreciate any feedback you might have for me.
