KK, my thoughts.
You did a good job, just a few things I would like to say. Yes, the PSU is perfect for your build (almost same as my set up actually). The meory is CORSAIR and I will personally gaurantee it working (i have never known RAM by them not work). If possible get the BFG Tech 8800 GTS OC2 as the XFX has no overclock on the shader :) but that card is fine if you can't find the BFG one. (The BFG card also has life time warranty and I think it is slightly cheaper).

I am running Vista and it doesn;t suck now!!

I also play Bioshock maxed out on my computer (almost identical to yours) and it plays at an average of about 50-70 FPS (nice :) )

I would also get the Asus P5N32 Motherboard as it is very good for overclocking and will be good for SLI (the P35 chipset is ATI crossfire only)

I am not sure about how the 8800 GTS will ahndle such high resolutions when gaming with 2 monitors but... it shouldn;t be too shabby :).

good look with the build, any problems I would be happy to help
