And since I'm feeling like a bit of a naysayer... I'm going to make some comments on what you've chosen.

Case: Nothing wrong there... I prefer the 1200 for hugeness though ^^

PSU: Nothing wrong with Antec PSUs.

RAM: Ok... here's where things go a bit pearshaped... high-performance RAM doesn't make a huge difference on a Core 2 platform because they don't have integrated memory controllers (the reason's far more complex than that but I can't be bothered going into it). The priceerformance gained ratio just isn't good enough in my opinion to warrent DDR3 RAM in anything outside i7 (on Intel's side, that is... it's always nice on AMD), so I'd recommend DDR2-1066 RAM with tight timings.

Video Card: Get yourself a pair of ATI HD4770s, they're as good as a single GTX280 for a fraction of the cost. If you want a single-card solution, you could always get a 1GHz HD4890.

Mobo: Here's the reason I said ATI cards... well... apart from the huge bang for your buck you get... I personally prefer the Intel X48 chipset to the nForce 790i.

Opticals: Do you really need a seperate player when you've got a burner? Oo

OS: Get yourself the Windows 7 RC (64-bit, of course), then buy that when it's released.

CPU: Nothing wrong there

HSF: Xigmatec S1283 > * (get some good thermal paste too... Arctic Silver 5 most likely)

HDD: All that money on the rest of your system and only a single 250gb drive? For shame! If you really want the performance gains (with some reliability), grab yourself 4 500GB WD Caviars, and RAID 5 them. ^_^

Monitor: Don't know what Acer's are like but 22" is a fine size.

it would probably come out to about $1500 because of the mobo.

for that price you could get a better i7 PC.
