Pretty decent.
Just make sure you use a 64-bit OS or you won't be able to utilize all your RAM. |

For just a little bit of lost performance, you could save over $100 by using a 9600GT instead of an 8800GTS such as this one.
EDIT: Oh, right, and you forgot an OS. |

Nice system. Tossed out the money in the right places. Can't do much better than that. 9/10 in terms of performance, everything else, 10/10.
2x 9600GTs probably do have more power than 1x 8800GTS 512MB, but still, it's a pretty good system on its own. |

I'd drop the 750w psu and go with a 600w.
I'd also drop the CPU and go with the unlocked multiplier 2.66 one, and overclock to 3.0 or 3.2.

Yes, you are right about the PSU, you could probably even run that system with a 350Watt PSU.
The E8400 can usually go to 3.6GHz on stock cooling, above 4.0 with aftermarket air cooling, so it'll probably do better. There is no Intel Core 2 chip clocked at 2.66GHz with an upwards-unlocked multiplier. |

| Nice, I would pay that kind of money for it. I would rate it 8/10. |

no... the graphics card alone needs 400w  |
No, what that is is the recommended PSU size for the whole average system. |

An Intel Skulltrail system with 2x Intel Core 2 Extremes and an eVGA GeForce 8800GTS only required a 425Watt PSU, but Intel recommended 1200Watts. But it's a good thing to have some clearance. |
