Everything here will run stable. You won't be able to go SLI in the future with that motherboard or power supply, but that's not really a problem. All in all, I'd say it's a good build.

It is if you use lower cards probably like the 8600 for example itd work, but for the 8800 on up it wouldnt be. Thats my guess at least.
