Your getting ripped off on the ram, cpu, and the floppy drive. Newegg has all that stuff cheaper and your dvd burner 5$ cheaper. Mobo is still high, you can get a DFI Lanparty board for 115$. You can cut atleast 100$ off by buying some things from newegg. Get cheaper shipping, and you can save 50$ on the case but you said you cared about looks so I guess its worth the 50$ to you.

That build should cost no more then 1600$ shipped after taxes.

Yea, I agree. That will be the first upgrade. 1GB will be fine for now IMO.

yeah:
wtf??!?! you dont plan on running that system on that PSU, do you? wasnt this discussed? Ultra brand PSUs are unreliable. even if it was reliable, 400W is pushing it, its probably not enough. look out for instabilities, signs of devices not getting enough juice. also, if you are planning for an SLI, which you probably are for choosing that board, you WILL need a PSU with higher wattage, like 500W+ because 6800GS SLI recommended at least 500W, and yours is the 7800GT.. to be safe get one thats 'SLI Ready' labeled

i thought you wanted a pretty PSU, the X-Connect isnt even windowed, unless its just cuz you were too lazy to give full name? you went by price, didnt you.. i mean every other list you showed had a 500W Ultra, so im like "ok, fine.." but 400W?? are you friggin serious O_O what made you change?

and why a 20pin PSU? screw that adapter, think for a minute:
If an adapter fixed everything, what was the need for 24 pin?

oh well the mobo has a solution, when u get it, plug one of the molex cables into the one labeled EZ_PLUG

Floppy.. Disk.. wtf is that?

aw not Arctic Silver 5? :[
