any suggestions on future system?

Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of building the PC below. What do you think about it? Do you have any comments?

AMD Athlon 64 FX-60
ASUS A8R-MVP
Kingston KVR400X64C3AK2/2G
Sapphire RADEON X1900 XTX
Thermaltake Shark Full Tower Aluminum Case Series-Black w/EMI Shield Honeycomb Side Panel
Thermaltake Toughpower 600W W0103
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 SATA
Philips DVD 16x Yazıcı SPD1400BD/00

And there's one more thing. I saw how much electricity X1900 XTX consumes here and couldn't believe it. Are those values actual?

These would be my picks for PSU / RAM

FSP Group (Fortron Source) FX600-GLN
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 400 CL2.5

I would make quite a few changes to that build:

1) Less you enjoy spending lots of money don't buy an FX-60. Its price/performance ratio is pathetic. Get an Opteron 180 instead and save $300 and overclock it to easily surpass the FX-60. It is only clocked 200MHz slower anyway.

2) Do not buy Kingston RAM. It does not in my experience overclock well, and if you look at the memory guides for motherboards, most do not list Kingston RAM. Buy Corsair or OCZ instead, especially for better overclocking.

3) The 1900XTX is not worth it- save the $50- get the 1900XT and overclock it to XTX levels. Also for a long time, Sapphire video cards DID NOT agree with ATI chipsets. I am not sure if this has been fixed.
