All looks good to me except maybe the Geil memory, it's had mixed reviews, some good, some bad.

Perhaps consider Corsair memory or if overclocking is not an issue, Crucial.

Also maybe look into the Philips range of sound cards as an alternative to the Audigy. That's just my personal preference though, the Audigy is a fine card.

Other than that, looking good. Should make a good gaming machine.

You need some speakers … and if you’re going to use the 7 fans on the case, you had, like me, better be deaf. :crazy:

I agree with Flops on the memory.

Otherwise a good-looking system.
