DDR, 'cuz its cheaper than some SDR modules along with MSI K7T266 or EPoX 8K7A.
I don't know the specs for the Annihilator II but if can find another board with faster RAM, that should help your to O/C it better.
IBM 60GXP, quiter faster, not that expensive ($90 for 20G, 125 for 40G).
Don't plan to play DVDs with your 21" monitor? Oh yeah, you probably have a 63" HDTV sitting next to you... :)
What CPU cooling?? Do you have a old comp that you can rip a FDD from to save a few $$$?
and a Antec SX830 or SX1030 is another good case unless you can shell our for Lian-Li or Koolance or Plexiglass.

All in all, pretty good. I'm thinking of buying something similar too...
