Well I think I got the best deals i could find here it is:

Cpu

Case

HDD

Monitor

Video card in aa combo with a mx518 which is -$15 and the superclocked version is only $20 more than the standard, plus the standard is out of stock.

Mobo in a combo with this psu (It's a -$80 discount holy crap!)

Ram in a -$20 combo with vista home premium 64 bit.

Heatskin

Keyboard

Case fan  gonna put on the side vent.

Dvd burner

Headset.

So how does it look? Grand total of $1415.64 ($1320.64 after rebates).

I kind of want to lower price little bit, but not realy you know. I'm not realy sure about the headset though.

Suggestions and comments welcomed :).

That's a link to a p5q se. The mobo I chose performs about the same as the x48. I don't think I'll go down to a 8800gt (great card, but getting a little outdated.)

For $20 more you can get the XFX GTX 260 Black Edition... which is better than the one you currently have...

Ditch the PSU, get a LG monitor, Sammy has bad backlight bleeding and that touch of red might get annoying.

Do NOT skimp out on the PSU. Its the backbone of your system and if that thing fails it might damage other components as well. I'd really reccoment getting the Corsair 750W PSU and don't look back.

The Corsair PSU is the same price and is better, so why get the Antec?

It looks pretty good. I don't know if you don't want to considering ATI and the 4870 but you have a strong build.

Well, it does beat it; but many of the 4870's are cheaper.  The price on depends whether you get the 1 GB version or the 512 which will both work fine and have very similar performance in lower resolutions (

If your going to buy a 22"  $300 monitor you may want to consider the Acer Ferrari F-22
