Looks good.
Do you have a power supply picked out?

Have a look at the sticker on the side of the unit, and tell us the make, model, and output voltages please. | |

3 rails for 12v, plenty of amps, modular and only $55.
the BFG model you linked to, not a bad deal, but after shipping (for me anyways) it'd be over $63, the antec one I linked to is a great deal, new, and free shipping, if its still in stock on thursday, may take a look at it and see about getting one for my 2nd rig, plus its modular, big plus there.

i think you should get intel with ddr2. i think you should get a gtx260 not a gtx275. the gtx 275 are a waste of money. for $30 more you could get a gtx285!! and dont say you can make a gtx 275 as fast as a gtx285 because you cant!!! you can also overclock gtx 285's you know! why should you get ddr2? because they are miles cheaper than ddr3 with little performace difference. a socket lga 775 will last you for atleast 2 years then hopefully the i7 systems will be really cheap.
for a power supply get the 600w from ocz. i have one and its great. its got 2 pci-e connectors and lots of extra cables. the cooling on it is fantastic.
so i would keep what you suggested, maybe change the ram to thats no moon suggested
but definetly get the psu which karmakiller suggested | |
