theres alot of money to be saved there...

I'm sure you can find a cheaper case

ive seen many 7800gt's for $250

motherboard you can get cheaper

hard drive you can get cheaper

basically if you shop around a bit you could dave much moolah
 
If you're not overclocking then the parts list is spot on, otherwise either save some pennies on an opteron 146 and OC it or shell out the extra for a 3800X2.

But otherwise a good build.

Yeah, I agree...why go for the 3700+ when you really could go for the X2 3800+.
