What I have picked out so far
Motherboard

Processor
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Memory
G.SKILL Extreme Series 2GB (2 x 1GB)
Hard Drive
Western Digital Raptor WD740GD 74GB 10,000 RPM
Heatsink
ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED 92mm
Power Supply
Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 ATX12V
Optical Drives
ASUS Black 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM
NEC Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X
SONY Black 1.44MB 3.5" Internal Floppy
Looking for reccomendations in general. I know I need a tower, wasn't sure what to get. I don't do any LAN parties, but still want it to be kind of pretty. Possibly looking for a different RAM, I know I need a videocard, but the 7900's in the ~350 dollar price range are backordered, looking for a suggestion on what to get. Is there anything missing from my build? I have a keyboard and monitor picked out too but did not bother to link. Price as sits is ~1100, so I need a case, video card, and sound card. Would like to not break 1500, but a little more is ok.
I know you guys see these threads all the time, but thanks for looking and any help you give.
