but i was just wonderin if you guys were gonna say go with the 4400 but i guess you suggested the opteron which i might get.
why are opteron so much better
Ive never had an opteron before
Looks pretty good. The HDD may be a bit of overkill, IMO. Get a 74GB Raptor for games and OS, and a 200 GB or smaller at 7200 RPM for media. Also, unless you plan to overclock everything on this build, the 7600 GT might offer you more bang for your buck. However, if you are going to overclock everything, you might want to consider an Opteron 165 over that 3800+. (EDIT: The 165 is dual core too. Slower default clock speed, but if you're overclocking, it doesn't matter.) Opterons are very high quality, and overclock crazy well.
Missing from build: PSU, Case, Optical Drives, OS
EDIT: Also, if you're going to get an Opteron and overclock, you'll want to invest in a good heatsink/fan like the Thermaltake Big Typhoon, and definitely some Arctic Silver 5. A replacement graphics card cooler might help too. Heck, just get some Arctic Silver 5 if you're using nothing but stock cooling. It's good stuff.

im failing to see why youre going from a 1900xtx to a 6800gs and why youre buying another 2 gigs.
unless this is a second computer?
and dont waist your money on a 150gig just because its the newest biggest raptor drive and since you have money to burn.Theirs a difference between splurging and being stupid.
Why not just buy a smaller far cheaper 36 or 74 raptor and a larger storage drive
