Memory

Everything looks nice and high-end but my personal preferances is to have 2 512mb memory sticks than one big one because i believe that 2 are faster than one. Then it splits up the info to go through two... so its twice as fast...(just my theory) otherwise nice set-up how bout sound
 
your forgetting a case and psu...also like jsquid526 said, 2 sticks of 512 ram gives you better performance (its proven)
 
I would personally rather have 2GB of RAM instead of that raptor.

He could be buying two of those sticks of RAM.
 
I think the parts you chose are fine. But are you sure that's all your getting?
2nd how much is ur budget?
that way we can choose the best parts under a limit
 
What's your budget? You might want to go Am2, or conroe.

Also like others said, ditch the raptor, and get a cheaper 7900gt, the little overclock they give you isn't worth the price, then take the left over money and get 2 gigs of ram.

Thats a 7600gt. Here is a cheaper 7900gt
Secondly don't get the raptor like they were saying performance gain isn't worth the price, secondly you should never have that as your only hard drive, they really don't last very long and will crap out a lot easier then a standard 7200rpm hard drive. So if you want to get one get like a 160GB 7200rpm harddrive adn use the raptor to store like programs on, but files and backups of everything on your regular harddrive.
 
Ok I basicly changed everything I had

Your computer will be able to play anything new, and will definitely be able to run Vista. All of this even more so if you get the 7900 and not the 7600.
