Fix your links (this "http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16824014133" is not right, esp the "..." in the middle)

the graphic Card....
Here, I just bought this 8800GT 1 GB 300.00 with 40 mail in rebate..... Save yourself some money and even get bigger graphics card. And you can also over clock it...
Palit 8800gt 1 GBits monster of card...

If want to spend 600 for.... go ahead, but If have Sam Club around you... Hit them up. Its where I got my Samsung 22 LCD for 279.00 there about..

I'm kind of weary of changing out the graphics card. I don't like OCing, personally.
Also, I don't think there's a Sam's Club around me, but I'll have to look into it. Saving over $300 would be a life saver!

My own isnt over clocked.... but just listed that choice, if one wanted to....
Hey, I know how it is trying to build your own PC. Save money where you can,.... very little helps.
Also watch on those Mobo some have really good sound. You may not need Sound card right this moment. Sam's Club Online, same price as in the store. I also go a Bose Companion 3 Speaker System set for about 200.00 from there. That is something to think about....

Hmmm...I'll stick with my current speakers (Bose is good, but it's $100 more) and the 8800GT 1GB would be fine, but the GTS CAN be OCed, and get better performance. Especially with that cooler, I should have no problem OCing, but I don't think I'd want to.
I'll check the store site out, though. I mean a $300 22" is an amazing deal!

8800GT for $220 at Microcenter.com
Also if you get a X38 mobo you get PCI-E 2.0, it would be better for future upgrades.
Nice ram choice.
Case recommendations: GIGABYTE 3D Aurora 570 , Antec P182

Something to bear in mind: If you're building a new system, you may want to consider getting OEM software instead of retail versions.
