Ok guys, I just threw this list together of Want Im wanting in a PC.
Its got the right price tag, in fact its right at the bleeding edge of my budget. So, I was hoping one of you pro's could take a look at it and let me know if I made any bad decisions.

Also, my main concern is that I dont have a sound card, but from what I read ( well I thought I read it) my Mobo has built in sound. I will be buying a real soundcard at a later date.

1 x Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000 Aluminum Case 4X5.25 2X3.5 5X3.5INT No PS Black Mirrored W/ Window

1 x Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Dual Core Processor LGA775 Conroe 1.86GHZ 1066FSB 2MB Retail

My other main concern is again about the Mobo, Im wondering if it has much potential for upgrades in the future. Thanks for the help again.

as for the motherboard try getting a motherboard with 965P Chipset. That will be better than the current Nforce 570 but other people may think other wise.

Basically my build. If you won't be adding a second video card then get the ASUS P5B-E or Gigabyte P965-DS3.

Great PSU, mine has rock solid voltages.
