why overkill with the thermaltake? get a quad core

Definitely get rid of the Rosewill PSU, and get a nice Corsair 600W-750W PSU. I would switch the Thermaltake case for something like an Antec 300/900, and use that money towards a quad core processor. I would spend a bit less on the motherboard, and get something like this Gigabyte P45-based motherboard, or an Asus P5Q Pro. You might want to wait for Nehalem, since you're in the market.
Your choice of RAM seems okay, but I'd go for a 4GB Kingston HyperX kit.

3. meh, too expensive for the performance advantage over it's 512 cousin, and 4850.

you really wish you'd need a 4870 unless you're running a ridiculous resolution. A 512mb framebuffer is big enough usually.
4. Needlessly fast RAM, just get some corsair stuff for far cheaper.

5. Waste of money, you have one card. Just get a PQ5 board.

6. Yeah ok worlds worst PSU. I bet it would be awesome if your new shit went up in smoke.

If you're not too much into looks, get an Antec Three Hundred. Costs like 1/3 of the price.
Get a cheaper motherboard, especially since you're not using 2 video cards.
And ditch the CPU and PSU combo. Seriously, buying that CPU and a good 500W PSU would be much cheaper. You won't need 750W anyways.

With the additional money you saved, you could probably upgrade to a 4870x2, or you can pocket the money instead.

i'm in ur newegg, savin u $300

Use the money saved to invest in a nice CPU and GPU cooler. For GPU I would recommend the Aerocool S1.

Don't buy ricer cases with windows and flashing LED's, they get old quick.
