ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

-You can always get an Intel C2D processor and an ASUS motherboard for Intel processor, if you want. You can get intel C2D E6600 and P5N or P5W motherboard.

-If you have small monitor, i'd prefer you, to get Nvidia 8800GTS 320mb, the card is really cheap and i recommend you, it costs you much much less.

Actually Antec piano series (i have one too) have special cooler included (at least I had) which cools the motherboard and processor, and the fan is cooling the GFX card. And it's quiet as mouse.

you can get this CASE with 500W PSU. It's just few bucks more expensive, it has window.

But i'd still recommend you the quiet ANTEC, but, as you wish ;)

With that much spare money from your budget, you could probably upgrade the CPU to an E6600 or the GPU to a 2900 XT.

Also, Intel will be bringing a fair amount of price cuts on July the 22nd. The price cuts will see the Q6600 drop down to around $300 (RRP), so you may want to wait for that if you're not in a hurry.
