Help with a build

[jg101987]

I was hoping for some advice here.

Tell me what you think and (if applicable) anything I should change.
I'm trying to build the best PC possible for $800.

I've never built one on my own before. My custom one I have now was build with the help of a friend.

Here is what I want it to look like:

Drop that RAM and get some XMS2...

Drop the 650i and get an P31-DS3L if you never plan to get over 4GB ram, if so, get an P35-DS3L

Chunk the 8500 and get an 8600GTS/8600GT or even an 8800GTS if possible!

ATA133 is old... but ATA100?? SATA: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822144701

PSU is crap. $50 won't power that.

A few things I would look at.
You can get better RAM Cheaper after rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145034
Recertified Raptors..http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136067 Super fast configured in RAID 0.. Great value.

CHEAPer memory... Same thing, $9 less.

Wow. Only 8MB cache, and ATA150 doesn't make it better.

Memory not exactly the same. latency is not the same.

Darn I was caught

Still though, I'd go with XMS2.

Personally, I think that power supply should be fine.
