Here's what I'm planning to buy:

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3
2GB (2x1GB) Kingston 667Mhz
Sparkle 8800GT Silent
Samsung 500GB HD501LJ
Asus 1814-BLT
Antec Solo
Seasonic S12 II 430W
Dvico FusionHDTV Dual Digital 4
SoundBlaster Audigy Value (for separate audio output to TV)

plus existing components:

Western Digital 120GB IDE
Samsung 160GB SATA
Samsung 250GB SATAII
Pioneer 16x DVD-RW IDE
D-Link DFM-562IS 56k (for telephone answering machine)

I hope to overclock the CPU to 10x333Mhz=3.33Ghz (or higher if stable).

Is 430W enough? The 550W Seasonic is $165 against $99 for the 430W (AUD) so if I don't have to I'd rather stick with the 430W.

I welcome any comments.

I'm not aware of any motherboard that has two unique audio outputs. I'd love it if there was. The TV only has RCA audio inputs. I use a cable with stereo 3.5mm on one end and stereo RCA on the other.

I need the dual audio output so I could for example, play a game or do some work on the PC while streaming a video to the TV as well which is in the next room (obviously watched by a second person).
