i'd wait to build a pc right now. the new 45 nm processors are coming out in early sept. That means in the next 3 months, that core 2 quad processor is going to drop price, due to the fact intel wants to get rid of old stock fast....

That being said, everything looks solid. Except i'd buy a western digital raptor 10k drive, it's way faster than the seagate, and it will give you much better performance with all your other high end parts. You don't want the disk drive to be your bottle neck. It's a little more expensive, but worth the price.

Also look at windows xp x64bit to see if you can get that cheaper. It's much quicker in games than vista 64.
