Ahh HEC Power supplies... they are a little cheap, and I would avoid them.

Also, you can save a lot of money by just using a personal copy of Windows XP for now, because Windows 7 comes in October, and there are some places it looks like you cheaped out on that rig. Also, drop the extra case fans, you are adding unnecessary amounts that will actually block airflow. Also, just get the 512MB version of the HD 4670 because the 1GB usually does a performance decrease because it cannot utilize that much RAM and step up that RAM to a better brand, I think the Wintec AmpX DDR2 800 kit is like $30, and add a Corsair 450VX.

Windows 7 Release Candidate
