What about this build?

[darknodin]

here is the idea

CPU AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 473.00 Tigerdirect.ca
MotherBoard Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe 230.00 Tigerdirect.ca
Power Supply Thermaltake Purepower 680 Watts 215.99 Tigerdirect.ca
Hard Drive Western Digital Caviar SE 400Gb 291.00 Tigerdirect.ca
RAM OCZ 400MHz PC3200 2 x 512MB 175.99 Tigerdirect.ca
Video Leadtek GeForce 6800 270.00 Tigerdirect.ca
DVD-RW ?????????????????? 80.00 ??????????????????
Disquette ??????????????????? 30.00 ??????????????
Card Reader ??????????????????? 40.00 ??????????????????????
Case ?????????????????????? 200.00 ??????????????????


I just wrote this quickly and probably miss a few important parts (and no... a Screen is not needed)... feel free to help for the ????????... I want an elegant case (possibly black) without any clear panel or the sort. I also don't intend for a gaming computer per say, but simply something powerful that will last a while. I also put the A8N-SLI there because i already have one, but if you know of a good non-SLI motherboard, that would be better i think (and cheaper?). anyways...thanks in advance for your help (oh and the Disquette, DVD and CRs are not that important , i put them there for budget considerations)

thanks

EDIT: I'm from canada... so prices are in canadian...

Antec Sonata II for your case. Elegant and quiet.

I have the 400W SmartPower 2.0 in my TX640. Works great and runs nice and quiet.
