I would like any advice on my build. Whether it be get a cheaper GPU and wait for the DX10 cards. Or go with a regular 7200 RPM HD. Or anything else for that matter. Thanks

case was a bad choice imo, lian li's are overrated hugely... could have got a much better cooled one for cheaper like the antec nine hundred with 1 200mm top fan 2 front 120mm fans 1 hd 120mm and a rear exaust 120mm

the psu is also at the botton, plus it has a top usb ports/audio and power button for under a desk

Yeah i agree....The system in your siggy looks quite decent imo.

The only thing i would do to the system in your siggy is a memory upgrade.

Btw...That monitor you listed...

Looks nice.

I already sold my computer. So now I want to build another one. I'm also looking to downgrade the CPU to an E6400 and the GPU to the Nvidia GeForce 7600GT.

80gb seems small for a HD..maybe its just me. Wouldn't you want a little more space for breathing room? Just a suggestion.
