This should all work together pretty well and I am sure CF members will critque it so how is it for a $1020 build?

I like it a lot but get 2 sets of the Corsair XMS2 and a Gainward instead of an EVGA 8800GT. Gainward put improved coolers on all of their 8800GTs as the Nvidia reference cooler is pretty poor. It struggles to keep the 8800GT under 90c at full load. Another thing I would change is the motherboard, I would get the MSI P35 Neo2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130098
