Looking to build it under $850 with shipping and tax.
I have 2GB worth of 3200 Value Corsiar RAM, so I think that will be alright for a little OCing. I have the hard drives I need and a DVD+/-RW, a good enough sound card and heh, floppy drive.

Am I missing anything that I can use to strech my preformance per dollar ratio?? Will my PSU be alright with this setup and is that mobo able to do crossfire?

[Edit] I wrote I HAVE hard drives and sound card and RAM, did you guys missread? =P. What MoBo could anyone reccomend that supports DDR1 with Conroe?
 
As for the optical drives, I like Lite-on if on a budget, and anything from the SB Live!/Audigy line should suit you fine
 
What they said, sell your value RAM (with the current pricing you should get decent money for it) and just use the onboard HD sound.

Think about BenQ for the burner, best brand around at the moment.
