May want a larger power supply.

Your case is bad and will be at risk to over heat. You want a side air duct.

Great video card I'm not sure on this but your processor may "bottleneck" your vid card slowing it down.

Overall a great selection for your budget but a few things can be tweaked.

Can you suggest a few things?
I want to stay around the same final price..

I really need a good case suggestion.

your processor is juuuust fine to operate any video card. Any socket 939 processor will be plenty healthy to run a 7800 series card. suuure, your benchmarks go up with a higher processor, but not by much.

For a case i like the Aspire Xplorer i had no troubles with room the air flow seems to be decent and for the money it is a good case to get.

Oh i almost forgot i would probably get this PSU is it cheaper and a little more watts to it which could save u some money if you where looking into getting a larger PSU like the person stated above.
