Advice on my new PC

This is my planned pc setup. I won't be building for several more months but I'd like some input on it.

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 FX-55
Case: Thermaltake Tsunami
MB: Asus A8N-SLI
RAM: 1GB OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2
1GB Corsair XMS PC3200XLPT(if they stop making the samsung TCCD chips the OCZ uses)
Vidoecard: BFG 6800GT OC PCI-E(1 for now)
Hard Drive: WD Raptor 74GB
Maxtor DiamondMax10 300GB
CPU HS: Thermalright XP-120
PSU: PC P&C Turbo-Cool 510 SLI

I do have the money to afford a fx-55 and the turbo-cool 510 sli. I plan to overclock the fx-55 as far as I can take it. I also haven't chose any optical drives so any opinions are welcome.
 
I don't understand why you would want to go FX-55. I would just go A64 3000+ and OC it to FX-55 speeds.

But if you have the money, spend away, The rig looks awesome. If you're planning on overclocking, you might want to look at some of OCZ's VX based sticks.

I've seen eveyone say that same argument. But since money isn't much of a barrier to me, I want to go the extra mile.

Any one know any good dvd optical drives? I'm leaning towards the plextor PX-716A

if you really want to go the extra mile, why not 2 video cards then?
 
the Tt Tsunami is supposedly really loud, for its price, and especialy since you arent budget limited, i would get a V1100B from lian-li. its more of an investment. and i would make sure that the xp-120 works on the A8N-SLI, otherwise get the XP-90.

I've taken a look at the Lian-Li cases and their too vanilla for my taste(too much anodized aluminum), sill rather prefer the TT case.

I know of others here who have the same xp-120/a8n-sli combo so it should work.
