Plans on first gaming rig (no O.C. planned): $915 budget

Looking for opinions/advices/comments on my plans for building first computer:

Intended Use:
Games: F.E.A.R, Heroes 5, Civ 4, future MMORPGs (Vanguard, etc)
Apps: Visual Studio .NET; Driver debugging w/ serial link to my old P4 1.6GHz....

Resolution up to 1280x1024. (Actually my CRT monitor reasonable resolution/refresh rate combo is 1152x864 @ 85Hz).

Newegg Wishlist:
Athlon X2 3800; 7600GT; 2 Gb Ram

When I was looking for components I passed on SLI and O.C. capabilities - I am not into overclocking or SLI.

So, here is a list of parts:
AMS Gmono CF-2029SW-S Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
Thermaltake TR2 W0070 ATX 430W Power Supply - Retail
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket 939 ULi M1695 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 2000MHz HT Socket 939 Dual Core Processor Model ADA3800BVBOX - Retail
eVGA 256-P2-N553-AX Geforce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail
CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) - Retail
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
SAMSUNG 16X DVD±R DVD Burner With 5X DVD-RAM

Does is it look like solid/balanced build (balance between budget & gaming performance)?
Is anything could be replaced with cheaper components without loosing much quality? Though I am fine with loosing overclocking features/potential.

looks good. single core + better graphics is a better solution for gaming though.

also, why did you get the dual sata? the only reason i'd see to get that over a more quality board is the AGP slot, buying a cheap card to replace it later with a PCI-E. Although I head rumors that it is AM2 capable, but I'm not sure I believe that.

If you can fork out the extra 100 for the graphics card, keep dualcore, but if not then get a 3200+ for 150 and buy the 7900gt or x1800xt.

See the June 06 issue of Maximum PC page 49. They just built a nice one.

the 7900 will destroy the 7600. 7900 has twice the pipelines, better clock, and not to mention is an overclocking beast of a card. it will have you playing on better detail settings such as higher quality enviornments.

oh yeah, and a 256 bit interface, 7600 has a 128 lol

Don't forget your OS if you don't already have it.

um for the frames question its anything above 60 frames the human eye cant detect

of course some say 75 and what not but the accepted rate is 60 and why the sweet spot is 60 frames however you can dip below 60 as long as you dont go below 30 because thats when u notice slow down and choppyness

i used to run a Geforce 2 on COD and what not..i dont care if i go into the 30s but some people freak out and go nuts and thats why they must have th best video card all the time so its basicly your own personal feelings on the matter do u want it to run smoother then silk or do u not mind if it gets a little slow choppy when there like 20 guys blasting away its a matter of personal prefrence... sigh 9800Pro hasnt failed me yet....
