Looking for last minute advice.

Please tell me if you see something obviously wrong with the components.

Mobo - Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz
Memory - 4GB G.Skill DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) - for overclock system I would go for DDR2-800 but this isn't
Video Card - XFX GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 - not a gaming sys, don't need 8800GS or GT

If its not for gaming, just browsing and such it looks fine.

Looks good to me. Just make sure that you're using a 64bit OS in order to use all 4GB of RAM. Oh and what are you planning to do with this system?

Well if its not for gaming, you could drop the 7600GT and put in a $30 vidcard instead and get the same performance, unless, of course, you're using a 30" LCD monitor.

um dont know about you but from what ive expreiences with vista ultimate it sucks...

i got a full version from msdn from my dads work and well i hate it compared to windows xp pro...

its pretty much all jsut looks on top of a os that wants your approval of eveything...

not to mention alot of software isnt supported yet...
