Answer : Problem: building a system from scratch

An 8800GT that is OC will outperform an 8800GTS and cost less - the MSI 8800GT and XFX Alpha Dog are examples: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=707&model2=1057&chart=287

The E6750 is a better power/price cpu than the E6400: http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=873&model2=880&chart=435
