Looks very nice. Maybe see if you can scrape up a bit more for some better ram.

I think the RAM will be fine considering I don’t OC.

Looks good to me. You could consider getting a 36gig Raptor for your boot drive and something larger, say a 200 gig Seagate SataII NCQ for storage rather than just a 74gig Raptor.

Do you plan on going SLI in the future? If not you could probally save some by getting a nforce4 ultra board instead of a sli board.

Looks damn nice to me!
Sound card wise maybe consider the ChainTech A710 (I think that's the right model number). A lot of people say that's the best card out, it also cost around $25.00.

Edit....
Here it is, ChainTech AV710

I don’t need a lot of storage...Right now I'm running off of a 40GB drive that I still have 9GB left on...So I think it will be awhile before I use up 74GB.

I’m biased towards ASUS and there nForce 4 Ultra board doesn’t have firewire.

edit: Do you guys have any CRT recommendations for about $450 shipped???
I’m thinking about a ViewSonic G220FB.
