SILVERSTONE ST50EF-Plus ATX 12V 2.2 500W

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

ASUS P5N-E SLI

LG Black 18X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 2.13GHz 2M shared (Will be changed to an E4300 if they are released soon; does anybody know the date?

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

Case, video card, and heatsink (Tuniq T-120) are taken care of.

Any last minute suggestions?

I'm hoping to get the E6400 to around 3.5GHz at 500 x 7, or 425 x 8, if the RAM can't handle it.

 
Looks fine to me, although I'd probably a Seasonic or a Corsair (made by Seasonic^^) PSU. Also I'd get a 600W PSU if plan to run any high-end video cards in SLI anytime soon (the PSU is fine for *any* single video card available atm though).
 
Thanks for the replies.

I'm already stretched to the teeth on this build, so any parts costing more than $20 over what I have already chosen simply can't make the cut.

Nice RAM sticks, though.
 
I would have to get a lucky S3 to hit the 500FSB+ levels...

As for the hard drive, it only has 8MB cache. I did quite a bit of research on hard drives prior to this build and it turns out even the 16MB version of the Seagate runs both hotter and slower than it's Western Digital counterpart...
