You paid about $100 to much for your lcd even after your rebate. That could have a 9800pro.
You get the 120 GB 7200.7 at Newegg for the price of your 80gig.

Wow, that is a ripoff on that monitor....

Otherwise, everything else seems ok. Since it seems like you're a money bag waiting to be spent, I'd say go with some other motherboard, though the P4C800 might be good.. I'm not familiar with Asus boards personally.
Again, since you've got a ton to spend, I'd get a larger capacity harddrive, and definitely the FX 5900 video card. At least a gig of ram would be good too.
I'd get XP Pro rather than Home edition, but that's person preference. I also like the logitech keyboards/mice....


Other than that, it seems like a decent computer as far as parts/performance.... might as well keep it since you've already put the money on it.
