Lookin good. Um. I'd suggest finding a case that doesnt come with a power supply, and buying your own, (Antec is a good brand). Ive heard that some of those power supplys can be pretty crappy.

Whoops. My bad, i just saw that you are buying one. hahaha. Yeah man, looks good!

Better PSU

whoa. you bought a crossfire (ATI) board and a 6800 (nvidia) video card. There's no need for that. Are you going to be using Crossfire/SLI? If so, you need to match up the brands. If not, I suggest steering away from SLI/Crossfire because they're a waste of hard earned money.

No need to buy any IDE cables, they come with the motherboard. Definately go with STE's power supply, its a lot better than the one you have. Try to get a different brand video card, XFX has a relatively high rate of bad cards. Go with an evga or something. Sli/crossfire is a waste of money, so just drop that, and you would need an sli board to use two nvidia cards anyway. Get a regular lanparty ultra-d, and use the money you save to get an evga 7800gt. 7800gt's are only about $300 right now. Great deal. I love mine, it can play F.E.A.R. and BF2 on highest settings flawlessly.
