New System Build Review

[clarifypso]

Hello,

I have built a few systems in the past, but have been "out of touch" with the new hardware. I have done some research and have come up with (what I hope) to be a pretty good little system. I would appreciate any comments or helpful guidance before I buy so I don't purchase the wrong pieces. Thanks in advance.

If I could change anything would be the ram to Crucial Ballistix DDR2 1066. But even if you leave it like that, you did an excellent job choosing your parts, have fun with them.

OCZ ram works very well -- don't think you have to change it --

All good -- enjoy
