An unnecessarily high-end board for the rest of the system, particularly since you don't seem to be using SLI.
Can't find any mention of this brand on newegg. Do you mean Corsair? If so, is it ValueSelect or XMS?
If it were me, i'd be inclined to ditch the raptor in favour of drivers with larger capacity, or save the money. The performance difference isn't that significant.
The 250GB drives are less than $10 more expensive. You may also want to consider a drive with a 16MB cache.
Is this the integrated sound, or an actual sound card? If it's a seperate sound card, which card is it, and what will it be used for? Integrated is fine for most purposes
It would really help to know the model of the card here. From what I can find on newegg, the only one that matches the description is a 6800GS, for $199. You'd be better off saving a little money elsewhere, and spending it on a 7900GT (around $100 more expensive). Assuming it's a gaming system.
What's the amperage on the +12V rail of this PSU. With a few exceptions, PSUs that come with a case are generally relatively poor. Spending a little extra on a PSU (something like the X-Clio 450W) would be a good idea in this case.

What do you mean by 'All the software'?

That seems very expensive for the system in question. Take a look at Computer Specs 101. Praetor's $1300 system, while it doesn't include a monitor or software, will easily outperform yours.

k im getting the sli mother board cause i plan on getting a second card later
it was a 6800 gs and it was also corsair i was in a bit of a rush and messed up a few things so i should drop the raptor dive and get the 7900 gt instead the raptor was worth about 140 and its and actual sound card the store deals with one companye i have no idea wich one so thanks for the advice so the rest of teh system is allright and il look at dropping the raptor and getting a 7900 gt and the case is preaty good it was the best one they had in there store it was a little cheaper than two other models but they recomended it thanks again

No problems. I still think that the cost of the system is too high, though. The cost of the components is a LOT less than that
