ordering my stuff tonight

[pavester]

well the time has come and i am ordering my stuff tonight. i wanted some of the tech savvy people to look my selection over and offer some suggestions on what to change/upgrade.

atm i have a
(939)3500+
k8t890a(ecs)
250gig 16mb buffer HD(maxtor)
raidmax case


------
i have about $492 us to finish this computer
i need
video card
ram
cheap ass speakers/headphones
heatsink/fan
dvdr
psu

atm i have configured a list of products off of newegg that comes out to $520-$530 with shipping my parents offered to pay shipping so shipping isnt a problem

now my main concern is will a ecs k8t890a be able to handle a x800gto/6800?
what would be my best bet on ram?
and best bet on heatsink/fan

these will be purchased by 5:30 tonight so any help before then will be appreciated.

which one of these would you suggest i order i now both would probably run bf2 at medium.
but the x800gto would be a good overclocker right?

the first step is to convince your parents shipping is $1000 and the parts are $50. and you like the reputation of the store and refuse to purchase elsewhere! :evil:
