Go for the 8800GS.
Drop the sound card and get a P35-DS3L. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145590 E8400... And the Centurion 5.

I agree Oscar, but I think he wants 4GB of RAM so the A-Data seem pretty fair
 And yeah the 8800GTS 320MB is an old card, as oscaryu1 said get either one of these: 8800GS, 9600GT, 8800GT or the HD3870  Oh and BTW, the P35-DS3L is a great choice. I have it and it works wonders and looks pretty sick

Get the W/D RE model instead of the SE
Get a 8800GT instead of that 320MB 8800GTS Drop the sound card, its not any better than the onboard. Get this P/S, 80 bucks off. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817703005

Oops, missed that
 It looked like 2x 1GB. Please disregard that part.StrangleHold - That's $110... not $80. If you still wanted to get it, I'd step up to: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...OCZ%2b700W , cheaper, and better.

Its 80 bucks off. The PC Power & Cooling has the same amount of amps on the 12 rail as the 700 OCZ so for a 610 watts model its better.

My fault, I meant 90 bucks off. But 109 bucks is a good deal for a PC P/Cooling P/S. OCZ bought out PC Power & Cooling a few months ago, but there still made in house.
