Decided to put together are parts list. The parts list contains what, IMO, are the most relevant parts. I tried to choose parts that people will most likely put into their system at each price point. I want to avoid adding too much stuff and bloating the list and losing scope. I'm looking for suggestions and comments to improve the list. Thanks.

Not bad, but I'd make a few changes.

Q8300 (2.5GHz, 4MB) @ $190 is a better buy than Q6600 (cooler, faster, cheaper).

List some of the G41/G43 motherboards (start at $62 with many features not available on the G31 boards - plus better overclocking options).

G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2-1066 $43 shipped (better deal)

The GTX 295 has 1792MB RAM, not 1729 (896x2).

The "Xigma" cooler you referenced - call it what it is, Xigmatek S1283 - is compatible with all S775 Intel boards, not just the AMD boards like you indicate. And actually this is one of the best coolers available, and definitely the best value for cooling out there atm.

Yeah, the Xigma is compatible with both intel and amd, but you really want the retention bracket that comes with the Dark Knight. The retention bracket isn't used on AMD boards thats kinda why I made the distinction.
