New gaming rig

[Circa219]

I'm building a new PC for gaming. I would like some opinions on the stuff I'm cramming in it. Here are the specs:

Diabolic Minotaur ATX gaming tower w/ 400w power supply
Asus k8v deluxe motherboard
AMD athlon 64 3400+ CPU
Western Digital 250GB 7200RPM HDD w/ HDD cooler
Kingston 512MB DDR ram 400MHZ(2) with ram coolers
Sony 8x DVD-+RW drive
Sony 16x DVD-rom drive
7-in-1 card reader
SoundBlaster Audigy OEM sound card
Nvidia FX 5950 256MB video card
Windows XP home edition.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanx.

Great setup, but if you're willing to spend the money of the GeForce FX 5950 Ultra, you might want to think about saving a little more and get the GeForce 6800 or ATI X800.

Diabolic Minotaur ATX, that's an ugly case dude.

Not my pick either, the other stuff is pretty sweet though.

Ohhh... wait go with the ATI 9800 Pro XT or wait for the ATI x800, because right now ATI is out performing Nvidia.
