Okay, I'm ready to pull the trigger. Is this good?

Okay, I ready to buy a gaming PC. I'm not planning on OC, I might play around with OC but I'm not to worried about that. Is this a good setup? I'm upgrading from a AMD XP 2400 with a ATI 9800 pro. Thanks for any comments.

That seems pretty decent to me. I wouldn't be able to comment on whether there might be better priced options for anything there, as I don't live in the US...

after getting the Sonata II, I think I would rather have a more open case and a diff PSU. However. that case / psu combo is still pretty sweet.
Nice cpu/graphics combo.
Definitley look into a sleeving kit bc the wiring in that case gets pretty disasterous.
Also, you know about the air duct in that case right? You dont really need to use it, its used to blow air onto your CPU and Vid card - some after market CPU fans wont fit with the duct (you can get away with not using it though - im planning on putting some holes on the side of my case (the door) and putting fans on that)
