When I always built my comps, I never skimped out on the Mobo and CPU...It's the heart of the system, and I've always had the philosophy better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it...

I agree with the sentiments on the others about the video card/mobo selection, as well as the cost of the RAM...I haven't read up on it, but you could probably get away with a cheaper heatsink as well...I used to be big on overclocking, but with todays comps, its probably not that necessary...

As far as the disks go, I like the 500 GB selection...If it were me, I'd put a Raptor up front to house my OS and use those big drives to hold some of these 4,000 pixel image sets and HD Videos I seem to be downloading these days...

So far so good though, and not a bad price either...
