I have made my final decision for upgrading, the following:
antec p180
amd 3700
dfi sli ut-dr
ocz 2x512 pc3200el
xfx 7800gtx
artic silver 5
swiftech 6400 heatsink
xp home
seagate barracuta 7200.9
I already have 2x36.7gig raptors that i will use for the OS and games, the seagate will be for the music and videos.

The only thing that i don't have on the list is the psu, i was thinking of an antec 550watt and was wondering if anyone has one and if it would do the job. Thanx in advance.

And if anyone was currious the total for the whole rig (not including the heatsink, but with the antec 550) is $1538 and that includes shipping from newegg.

XFX 7800GTX makes me a little leary from some of the things I've heard on here.

You may want XP Pro, I think it has more Networking options. Not sure what else you plan to do with it though.

PSU you have should be okay, of course I like the one I got - it's quiet ;)
