If you are running a real heat-producer for a chip, make sure you have PLENTY of airflow. Those 8800 vidcards make heat, too. You might consider running with the side panel off until you are sure your temps are in the green zone...

My system: AMD Phenom 9500 cpu, 2 x eVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS Superclocked vidcards (640Mb DDR3 each), Zalman "sunflower" 9700 fan, Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 mobo, 4Gb G.Skill PC2-6400 DDR2 800Mhz RAM, 2 x Sony 20X DVD writers, Thermaltake Toughpower 850W modular p/s, 7 x 120mm fans, Windows XP Home and SP3, 2 x 250Gb Western Digital SATA-300 HDs (1 for apps, 1 for storage and precious files backup), CoolerMaster CM 690 case, NOD-32. Won't run FSX. Locks up a lot with FS9, too.

If you are going 2Gbs of RAM I suggest getting them in 1x2Gb modules or even bust out a few extra bucks and get 3Gbs (1x2 1x1) Wink

I also suggest an additional cooler. I have an 8800GT with a cooler and I run at good temps.
