$341 for a TI4400? I believe that TI4600s can be had for that price, atlhough I think Leadtek is one of the best.

If your gaming I'd invest in a better sound card.

165.00 3 Sticks of 256 (768 DDR RAM) (55x3) (NEWEGG)

3 sticks is overkill, 512 is perfect.

70.00 Lite On 32x12x40 CDRW Model LTR-32123S (NEWEGG)

Why not go for the 40x?

Overall I would drop the last stick of ram, add a Audigy and upgrade to a 40x burner.

inspire line is trash

IMO go with the megaworks 510D much more expensive tho

or go with logitech z 560's about 50-60 more

get an audigy instead of SB live

get one stick of samsung 512 MB PC2700 instead if you want to overclock

might want to get a Ti4200 or Radeon 8500 LE 128 MB

get a 120 JB hard drive

googlegear.com has some very nice prices also

consider an 850 setup with 512 MB low density samsung pc 800
