I'd say take out the Nvidia and stick in a Sapphire 9800 Pro OEM(@ Newegg). Much better performer IMHO and only $210ish.

Make sure to get a nice PSU (Antec PSU included with case? :D)

Also, I'm not a big fan of OCZ, check this (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=284426) stuff out. 194ish for 1 GB of RAM that can easily do 200 FSB w/ nice timings. Just my $0.02

Id say its going to be a killer system , big upgrade from the one in your sig

ppl are probly gonig to sugest gonig with a ATi 9600 or 9800 , which they are good cards. the 5900 is a good card to

post your results , good luck

Check out the classifieds around here as well, someone sold a 3000+ for $75 a few days ago, you can get some stuff for amazing prices.
