Just wanted some opinions.

Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80580Q9400 - Retail

GIGABYTE GA-EG41MF-S2H LGA 775 Intel G41 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

EVGA 512-P3-N975-AR GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

HITACHI Deskstar P7K500 HDP725050GLA360 (0A35415) 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

LG 22X DVD�R DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH22NS30 - OEM

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

Antec Signature SG850 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Retail

Transcend 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model JM4GDDR2-8K - Retail

Saving money is a good thing. The current total is 928.91. The only question I have right off the bat is, is that PSU overkill? I can't figure out how to tell what the requirements are for the different components. General criticism (constructive, of course) is also very much welcomed.

Edit: Here's a link to the Newegg wish list. Also, the computer will be used for gaming (but not of the hardcore variety).
