cpu: i would change this. your cpu isn't your bottleneck so you should drop down to a 4400+ (saves you almost $200 USD)
ram: get this G.Skill 2x1gig kit or this Corsair Value Ram 2x1gig kit. the ram you put is for overclocking so you don't want that. plus, you save more money buying this ram. the g.skill is CAS 2.5 and the corsair is CAS 3 by the way.

floppy drive: are you sure you need this?
hard drive: get the same thing with 16mb (Western Digital SE16 250GB). only real difference is 8mb more cache

video card: get a single x1900xt (don't get the x1900xtx) and get an epox 9npa+ motherboard. the epox board is over $100 cheaper
