So I'm thinking that it's time to upgrade so I've completed a list on what I believe would be sufficient. I'm on a budget, so I won't be purchasing anything CrAzY.

C2D E4300
Gigabyte DS3
2 x 1GB G. Skill PC-6400 HZ
eVGA 8800GTS 640MB Superclocked
2 x 22" Acer Widescreen LCD's
Antec 900
Antec Neo 550 Watt PS
Zalman 9500
2 x WD 74GB Raptor HD's

I'm really thinking about swapping the 8800GTS out for the X2900XT. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I'll purchase a sound card and DVDRW at the local comkputer store...

I think I've read too many posts of people complaining about their Antec Neo 550. I would suggest Corsair or Seasonic for the power supply.

Why the 2x raptors? I'd personally just go for a single 150 raptor.

Still can't say about the 8800GTS versus X2900XT coz its too early and haven't browsed all the early benchmarks around the net. Although for the price, 8800GTS 640MB with rebates can be considered a good deal.
