The only things I'd change are:

Video- Hercules Kyro II

Soundcard- Turtlebeach: Santa Cruz

It's just personal preference. I can't stand nVidia's crappy 2D output and the SBLive is really old technology.

I know a lot of people have strong feelings about sound cards --
But the step from the onboard sound to a Live! is not significant -- Either do what Electric Amish suggests or use the onboard sound.
(This assumes that the onboard sound is a Creative Labs 128 -- which I think it is)

Lookin' good! And, you can most likely overclock your GeForce2 Pro to GeForce2-Ultra levels!!

$325 Western Digital WD800BB 80.0GB 2MB HD

Why get the latest / greatest at full price? Just get a 40gb for now and get an 80gb when it gets reasonable. HD prices fall fast, so why pony up now? You can also use the proceeds from your 40gb sale to finance the 80gb hd later.
