Well, I think I've figured out pretty much everything I want for my new system, and I'm just asking for any last minute advice or changes. If I win a place in the Newegg casemod competition, I'll be buying and building in a few days. If not, I'm going to be waiting until around mid october to buy and build it. Anyway, here're the parts:

CREATIVE Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit 30SB041000000 8 (7.1) Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card

Logitech X-530 70 Watts 5.1 Speaker
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836121118
Finally, for the video card it looks like I have a few options. I'm going to be getting a 7800 GT, and I'd prefer to buy from one of the better manufacturers like BFG Tech, eVGA, or Leadtek.

BFG Tech card:

Total cost for this system: Around $1500
This system will serve a few purposes:
1. Playing ElderScrolls: Oblivion without any lag and with lots of graphical and sound quality
2. Rendering advanced 3DS MAX scenes and animations
3. Lasting for a few years (and perhaps lasting me even through college)
4. Being as quiet as possible
I'll probably do a little overclocking as well, but not very much until I'm more experienced.
I don't need Disk Drives or a Harddrive, as I've already got those. I could probably get a new 80 mm fan though.
