This will be used for moderate gaming mostly on my 1280x1024 monitor and a bit on my 1080P TV. I will also be using it to watch movies, and internet browsing. I'm holding off on buying Windows 7 to keep the cost down. I will be using Windows 7 RC until it is killed off.

Basically I would just like to know if there are any incompatibilities in the parts or if there is any way to get the price down with little to no performance loss.

Thanks in advance.
 
The PSU is a bit more powerful than necessary. I am not sure you can save much on a smaller one, though.

You have no optical drive. Do you want to reuse one?
