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...

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)

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