Looks good to me. All are premium parts, and should work well together. You even know enough to get Vista 64-bit with 4gb+ of memory...
Enjoy it.
Edit - The only thing I can think of is if you wanted to a save a little bit of money and downgrade the graphics to one with less memory seeing as the memory does very little for the gaming at this point in time... But, no one knows what the future beholds, so... Yeah. Go for it.

just to make sure, you do realize that driver support for 64-bit is really bad and some of your software/hardware may not work properly or at all?

Get a SATA optical drive.
No reason to buy IDE drives anymore.
If you have the money, you could step up the RAM to DDR2 1066.
The sound card proly isnt needed.
But the list looks good. | |

Yeah I agree with carl on the sound card. Most of the time you can't really tell the difference. I would suggest setting up the system with just onboard, and then if it doesn't sound good enough for you, then pick up the sound card.
And definitely get a sata burner. They're the same price anymore, and alot faster. Plus you don't have that ugly IDE cable blocking the air flow.
My only other thought would be swap out the PSU for this. It's got that same amount of amps and total power as the one you listed. It will look alot better with your case. Plus it's cheaper off the start, with a rebate to make it cheaper.
Other then that, that's a sweet ass system.  | |
