Looks good. But maybe instead of Vista just use Windows 7 beta until it comes out later this year and then purchase that. And maybe instead of DDR2 800 how about 1066? Will you be helping to overclock?

Nooo overclocking. Needs to last 5 years or so and ya, no overclocking.

This is a computer I will put into operation, and hopefully never have to do anything to it for atleast a few years. I dont want to install windows 7 beta, have them install ALL there files, and then have to format in 6months.

Ordered so thanks all. Changed one thing...

Replaced Gskill 2x2GB DDR2 800 with G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2x2GB) for the same price, was no brainer...
