My bad last time I built a rig was 4+ years ago so I'm a bit out of date on PSUs. I swapped out that PSU for this one which costs $60($40 with rebate) and has good ratings: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153052

and went with the Audigy SE card instead for 20 bucks cheaper. I saw something about Vista making the x-fi features nearly obsolete, but maybe that was just hot air. Either way I want something better than onboard but don't want to spend more money on x-fi if there is little noticeable difference.

Hovering at around $1018 now. I think I'm pretty set(ordering tonight) unless anybody else has anything to chime in with.
