Rate my build before I order please?

[live4design]

I am a Graphic Design student and casual gamer, and I would like to stick around $700. This build is $725 shipped, so if anyone has any suggestions/upgrades, or if I can lower one thing and strengthen another, that will keep me in that same price range, feel free to let me know.
So, how is this build? Everything compatible, sufficient, etc.?

Thanks so much everyone!!

The parts look good to me. I would replace the Phenom II 965 with this processor as it is $11 less expensive and has almost the same processing power:

AMD Phenom II 955 Quad-Core (3.2 gigahertz) Socket AM3 Processor - $149

I also noticed you didn't pick a Windows installation disk. That is going to run you $100 extra.

Cool, thanks. And I already have Windows, a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.

HEC Blitz Black Steel Edition is cheap

Antec Three Hundred/ COOLER MASTER HAF 912/ Rosewill CHALLENGER are good to consider as well

The Beta EVO is a better case then the 300. Alot better cable management, better harddrive cage setup.

But is it worth the $90 with the $ for fan?

The 955 is $21 less if you count the $10 gift. So it's the better buy and you can oc easily if you want to.
I'd see about case options in that price range.
Optional MB. I like the Extreme3 too, but I'd probly go with this 89GTD if I could.
It's software makes for easy ocing and has coolers.(onboard video can be used for backup).

Get used to it. The National Debt for the United States has increased by about 56 percent since the year 2005. (It is now about 14.1 trillion as of the beginning of February 2011.) I am surprised we have not seen more devaluing of the U.S. dollar with the out of control spending. It took the United States about 230 years to rack up about 7.9 trillion in debt. But it only took 6 more years to add another 6.2 trillion to the debt.
