looks good, solid parts. Only thing I would say is to get a sound card, I don't think the onboard sound on the board is all that good and your getting decent speakers as well. Chaintech makes a nice sound card for 30 bucks...not the greatest for games though...audigy is better for games but costs more and isn't as good for music....your call on that though....enjoy :)
 
If I were you, I'd change the videocard to something better like a 6800gt and change the 3200+ to a 3500+ winchester. The hard drives could be SATA NCQ and I think your motherboard supports it. You should get more than just 160gig if you're not just a gamer.

Very nice setup, if you like listening to music and watching movies you should consider a better sound card like one from audigy. BTW about how much money are you looking at for that system? I'm also looking to order some stuff from tigerdirect.ca as I live in Canada.
