Talking My build - Final Part Choices!

Well, after lots of changing, this is what im going for:

3.2GHz Pentium 4 800Mhz 2MB Cache Skt 775
Asus P5P800 M/B
Thermaltake CL-P0092 Heatsink/Fan With Artic Silver compound
512MB Kingston, then Upgraded to Corsair 2GB Dual Channel
Maxtor 200GB SATA HDD
LG 16X52 DVD-ROM
NEC 16X16 DVD+/-RW
Mitsumi Floppy Drive
Point of View GeForce 6200A 256MB (AGP) then up to PNY Verto GeForce 6800 GT 256MB
eBuyer Black Case with Clear side Panel, 550W 30A Gold PSU With Blue and UV Cold Cathodes

What yall think? By the time in all done it should be costing around £800, but its only £380 before the 2GB RAM, 6800GT, PSU, Heatsink/Fan and other little bits.

You can get the 6800GT in AGP can't you?
Anyway, ya, i'd go with AMD and PCI if i were you, but then again i don't know what all you want to do with this computer, so u might just want to go with pci and intel.

PCI-E maybe, which is different than PCI. Remember that or you might end up giving someone bad advice. But AGP is not obsolete. There are still awesome AGP cards out there so don't be so swift to blow off AGP just yet.
