you can view the links if you replace the ... with t.aspx?Item=N

Is there a reason why you chose that motherboard over this one?

it can be combo with your ram for additional $17 savings.

I'm not a fan of using power supplies that come with a case. here are some that you could use the $67 savings from the motherboard without increasing the total price.

Case PSU won't handle squat. Switch out for a StealthXStream 600W, and a Elite 330 or Centurion 5. CL7 RAM? I've seen CL5 DDR2-1066. A P43 motherboard will suit you fine.

i was worried about both your case choices but the 2nd one you chose apparently can hold 10.5" long video cards.

GPU, memory, case, hdd, drive and os looks good, but i want to recommend a bigger PSU about 600w or more (anything over 800w would be overkill but i think 500w is cuttin er close)

also, if you plan on overclocking your CPU, which is the best feature of the e8400 fyi, get an aftermarket cooler. you might cook your processor, but if you dont plan on OCing, just stick with stock.
