PC Upgrade

Current Specs:

Core 2 Duo e6300 overclocked to 2.4ghz
2gb corsair ddr2 800 (5-5-5-15)
nvidia 7950 gt OC
Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 motherboard
NZXT Apollo Case (1 side 120mm fan, one in Back)
Rosewill 500w power supply

I have a little extra money right now, so I was thinking of upgrade my shiz. It's a decent computer, but I want to make the jump to dx10 and some juicy graphics with the newer games. Here's what Ive come up with:

Newegg.com - Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
~$139.00-$20.00 off= $119.00.....with $40.00 rebate = $79

Newegg.com - EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i FTW SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
$189.99 with $20.00 rebate = $169.99

Newegg.com - MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
$164.99 with $30.00 rebate = $134.99

Newegg.com - OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700W ATX12V Power Supply 100 - 240 V - Power Supplies
$149.99 - $25.00 = $124.99 with $35.00 rebate = $89.99

Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor - Processors
$209.99

Total: $683.96

Now, I plan on pulling my harddrives/RAM, etc. out of my current computer. If you noticed, the mobo is SLI, eventually I can put another 8800gt in there, and get some more RAM. I upgraded the Case because I plan on overclocking and the current one right now doesnt have that great of airflow.

Anyways, tell me what you think!

I don't see any compatibility issues with your component list. You already have Vista? Can't do DX10 without it.
