Hey guys this is my first post, I joined because I saw you guys are pretty insightful and I could use your help. Im on a $1600 budget w/shipping. Can you improve on my beautiful engineerical masterpiece? Did I just make up a word?

(UPDATED: Lookin good. Ill probably order on monday. ahhh yes YEEEES!! and think, before the end of spring ill have added:

- Another GB of DDR2 675 in dual channel for 2GB RAM
- Another eVGA GTO in SLI
- Another WD Caviar in RAID 0 for 640GB storage

Might want to do some patch up work with those links, they're pretty broken.

Don't get those speakers.

Instead, use that $60 for 2GB of ram (2x1GB).
You don't have to get DDR2-800. In fact I'm pretty sure DDR2-667 is more productive. Get DDR2-667

For the PSU, go with something a little better. Like this:
HIPER 550W

The motherboard seems fine and your build looks great.

Wow good call on the PSU, that thing looks sweet. And reviews say its quiet too? Thanks man.
