New Desktop Specs: Any Opinions Would be Appreciated

by the specs i assume its a gaming machine

i think there are a few places where you are just blowing money:

-get a 3500+ instead of a 3800+ or even better yet a 3000+/3200+ and OC the $hit out of it
-you are making a huge mistake not getting 1 GB of ram
-a 6800 GT will give you performance that is damn close to the ultra for A LOT less
-get some better speakers
 
Unless you are totally against overclocking:

Get a 90nm S939 3200+ for $179 from MonarchComputer.

DITCH the Raptor. Not sure why you have a 200GB Seagate and a 250GB WD. Why not just make everything easier by getting two of the same drive?

I would advise against getting a SATA drive if you are going to overclock.
