The only thing that appears to be missing is a good sound card. Maybe one of Creatives Audugy line cards would make a good system sound great. One really big tip would be to replace the metal standoffs in the case that the MOBO mounts to with nylon or plastic ones and use nylon screws to secure the MOBO to them. This will eliminate possible shorting problems as the unit goes through heating and cooling cycles. Be sure the CPU comes with a good fan. The power supply is hefty enough so extra case cooling won't be needed as it should run pretty cool.

what kind advice are you looking for?

O/S? xp, vista, and linux should work fine

I'd suggest a second hdd for backup purposes.

well to save you a little money, id recommend on switching to the Sagitta. heres the best priced one here. It can hold any graphics card out there, and 2 of most (the 3870 x2 and the 9800gx2 is the only one that it wont hold 2 of)

and I'd also recommend on going with some RAID 0, it will boost your preformance. Heres 2 hard drives that will help here, it will give you a terabyte for less

and for graphics i would have to recommend on going with something stronger, like one of these 2:

anyways those have basically everything except 2x gigabit ethernet ports, but you can pick up one of those addon cards cheap

and with some of those you need new ram, and heres a good one: [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146785]
