I already have a keyboard and mouse. Is there any changes i should make to my build?

thats a very good setup. are you going to order after the price cuts? but do you need that expensive sound card? i don't see any speakers except your monitor speakers.
 
Yes i am going to order after the price cuts on the processor. I had someone on this site make me a build that i tweaked a bit and that was the sound card he put so i kept it. and i have a crappy speaker setup that ill use until i buy better.
 
Yep, Get a processor from the Core 2 Duo line instead of an AMD X2.

You would also have to change your motherboard, which isnt a big deal. You could also keep your RAM.

It would perform much much better.
 
Could you give me a link to a Core 2 Duo processor and a motherboard that is compatible with all of my stuff? That would be great.
-Thanks

I am not sure where Core 2 Duo processors can be purchased yet but look for a motherboard with the Intel 975X chipset.

Core 2 Duo is compatible with another chipset but I forgot the name.
