Well the duallie thing went terrible, so its getting sold off to pay for this new one. I want to know what you guys think of what I want. It will be used as an all around rig, surfing, gaming a little, Multimedia Rig (DVD Player and stereo). Looking at spending 1000$ Want Socket T and PCI-E. No I will not go A64, too many PSU issues.

This is what I am thinking

DFI Lanparty UT 925X-T2 - 197
Intel 630J - 235
Corsair Value Select PC4200 1G (DDR2) - 148
Hitachi Deskstar 7k250 80GB X2 - 119
120mm Fan (need recommendations) x2 - 20
EVGA 6600GT 128MB - 182
Antec TruePower 550 - 106

Total is 1015

Now The chip is the most I am going to spend, so that must stay. If you guys can recommend anything better for the same or a little more, that'd be great. I would like to dabble into the modular PSU area, so are there any good ones out there. Do not recommend ULTRA.

Thanks All

the hds are the 80GB version. I see more problems with A64 and like I said in the first post, my mind is made up on that.
