Looks good to me m8e

By the look of the list you do not need much help!!

I would also check out the price of a raptor drive and maybe speed the machine up a little bit more. But I have added my opinion to your list below

Intel Core I7 920 - Make sure you get the D0 stepping as these will overclock very well

Gigabyte EX-58 OR Asus P6T SE - I have not used either, so others maybe able to help more

Corsair XMS3 Domintor TR3X6G16008D - You can not beat corsair memory IMHO

XFX 5870 - The best GPU on the market at the present time

Corsair BX850W power supply - This is a vgood solid PSU that will last you years

WD caviar black 650GB - As above maybe swap for a Raptor and 1tb storage drive if you have the funds.

Cooler master v8 cpu fan - Is a good cooler but expensive maybe look at another cooler that performs just as well but at a more reasonable price

Cooler master haf 922 - Very good case with very good airflow in all the reviews I have read.

Good Luck and keep us updated

It looks good to me as well, but on a personal note I'd wait a few weeks before buying (put it off til after Christmas if possible), especailly as when 59xx comes out it'll probably mean lower prices for the 5870... If you can wait til Fermi it'd be even cheaper, because ATI are bound to get involved in a price war (again) ...or January sales will bring the prices right down if you're willing to wait that long

My personal recommendation is get the PC now by all means, but just put a cheap 4350 in there so you have some sort of video out, then save a bomb on the 5870 when Fermi comes out
