Man, if you don't want to listen, fine, stick with the 7600 GT. :roll:

That's $10 more but has a $30 mail-in rebate.
The same PSU goes for $84 + shipping here:

Or you can go for the Fortron FSP400-60GLN which is slightly louder but just as powerful.

EDIT: The case-mod link should be:

http://www.case-mod.com/store/seasonic-...-pcie-power-supply-sleeved-p-1891.html

at the end of it, add "?src=fr" to get the sale price.

For 55 cents more, you can get the Samsung SP2504C 250GB SATA-II which is much quieter and probably performs better.

adding shipping makes it more expensive than newegg for me. just get it from ZZF when they're back in stock, $90 free 2 day fedex.

this and your previous parts list (posted a couple posts up) look excellent. howard's recommendation on the cheaper video card is a good change though.

i think your parts list is totally better than fx's. his video card listed is a LOT weaker and the ram is not only more expensive, it's slower too.

just wondering, how old are you? and do you have a pretty high income (no need to know the amount, just a yes/no answer). the reason i ask is DX10 cards come out either end of this year or beginning of next year (i forgot which) and those are supposed to be real powerful. if you are able to save up a bit of money by then, getting the x1900xt is a good idea. if you're not going to have too much disposable money in 6 months, maybe getting a 7900GT for ~$250 is a better idea so you'll have $150 saved up and you'll probably be able to sell the 7900GT for at least $175, leaving you with just $75 needed to be saved over a 6 month period to get a DX10 card. (DX stands for Direct X). just a thought.

but definitely go with your current configuration over the other suggested ones.
