HE does plan to get another GTX 260 and overclock the cpu+gpu once he gets to know the system more...

Looks like a killer system.

Yes, that Samsung will do the job.

Direct Canada is well rated at ResellerRatings: Direct Canada

he has a concern tho, will all those stuff fit into a mid-tower case with a few additional fans.. and also when he gets another gtx 260 will it fit ?

and yea it is a killer system.. probably better than wat i am going to build in a couple of weeks

Should fit fine

I would go with a better video card, and skip on the i7. That's just me though.

once he gets all his rebates, he is gonna buy another gtx 260 and right now he is gonna be running this system on a 17" monitor(FOR NOW) and when school starts back up again, he is gonna upgrade to a better video card
