I don't know about that Mother Board. I'm a little partial to Gigabyte.

Also, you will get more millage in a quad core, especially over clocking.

8 dollar difference.

Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

Use other source as well. q6600 - Google Product Search

A lot of people use Newegg, but sometimes you can find things cheaper at other sites. Like when I bought my speakers I choose zipzoomfly over Neweggg.

I don't own these, but here's a perfect example!

Newegg.com - Logitech G51 155 watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers - Speakers

(No rebate)
LOGITECH G51 Surround Sound Speaker System 980-000100 Speakers Retail at ZipZoomfly

I would change the motherboard to a Biostar TP45HP, it's a better board and is also cheaper.

Newegg.com - BIOSTAR TForce TP45HP LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

Also a HD 4850 is faster than a 9800gtx and gives you the option to add a second one fron crossfire in the future.

Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100245L Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

I would keep the e8500, it's a great cpu and a much better overclocker than the q6600.

Great choice on RAM, I recently bought that same set and it works wonders. Your PSU might be a pinch overkill with 650w but at that price it is a steal of a deal. If you want to stick with Corsair (I recommend you do), You can go for a Corsair 550w but it is the same price as the 650w right now with the instant savings and MIRs...so I guess I it's up to you; if you plan to crossfire/sli or if you want to save a few bucks on your energy bill.

You a friend of Nukem's, krackerzli? Just wondering as to why you are using Newegg from your current location...

Nice setup you have listed. As for mobo, I would go with this one. 415 people can't all be wrong.
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

Puddle's right about the 4850. If you can stretch a liiiiiiiitle further you can get this for $35 more:
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100259L Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

You can get GTS 250 for $129.99
Newegg.com - EVGA 512-P3-1150-TR GeForce GTS 250 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

I'd stick with the dual wolfdale and not the q6600. They suck now.

+1 to E8500 instead of the Q6600.
