Save some money on the PSU...
This Silverstone 600W is as good or better, and its like $50 cheaper with no rebate hassles

I know cases are subjective...
But you may want to think about the 300 instead of the 1200...
Pop a few $8 Blue LED fans in there, and you still save $100 bucks
I put these in my Antec 900, they are quiet, push alot of air, and are brighter and better looking than ANY other fan I've used
The case design is similar, and Airflow isnt going to be an issue...

As for the memory, technically thats the cheapest you can get after rebate for 1066...

Save almost another $100 by getting the Home premium version of Vista 64Bit

Shave another $40 by getting the artic 7 Freezer as was stated earlier

Thats nearly a $300 savings...
Sell that 7xxx series card for a reasonable price and then you can easily afford a top tier gaming card...
Youll be happier with the performance, and you won't have really sacrificed anything to get it,,,
