Minus a GPU, for now - waiting for ATI's 5 series.
The Geil sticks seem a really good deal, considering their timings and frequencies.

Looks OK, but don't buy windows Vista. Pre-order Windows 7 Home. It is cheaper and in the meantime you can use the RC until the full version is released. Other than that, with an ATI 5xxxx series GPU, it should run games nicely.
Pre-order offers are still around: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SW-124-MSCheaper? Is Windows 7 on a special offer or something? I thought W7 would cost around £120 which was set prices a few weeks back, why would they sell W7 cheaper than Vista?

You could save £15 by going for an OEM version of the CPU.
Also you're paying extra for SLI support, I'd drop down to the P7P55D or jump ship to a Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 and save another £20-30.
