New rig - suggestions welcome

Yeah, yeah, another one of these. But, I think I've narrowed down my choices, and would like to get some input from you smartie-heads out there. I'm not going for super-top-of-the-line performance or anything, but I think this will take care of my gaming needs for awhile. If you see any gaping holes, let me know.

Case

Mobo

Processor

RAM

PSU

DVD Burner

For the time being, I'm going to recycle my Audigy2 and my 7900GT, upgrading the GT to probably the 320mb 8800 within a month or so. I am not planning to OC anything, so I'm guessing extra fans aren't going to be necessary. Anyway, that's what I've got. Comments welcome.

Very nice!

Sorry, forgot to mention that I have a 500gb HD I'm using.

Why that mobo vs the one I picked? Just curious.

The motherboard I suggested is more futureproof.

Not really..

The P35C would be, but the DDR3 it supports offes no real performance inccrease over DDR2 :(

But it also will support Penryn...

So does the other P35 board? (the one he chose)

Not that I'm against the Gigabyte!

if you can wait id wait for the 9800 gts

I dont know if these are rumors but id wait a bit. theyre supposedly coming out by the end of the year.

if you can wait, then wait. and hey maybe you can save up for an 9800 gtx.
