Everything looks good, what I may changes is the type of memory, if you dont plan on overclocking i could go for corsair value select memory...are you planning this pc for gaming or apps?

You'd be OK with the OEM windows, but consider getting a retail HDD so you get a warranty. And the version of windows you have there I think is WAY overkill. At least get the standard version of XP (x32). I've heard a lot of horror stories with the 64bit version (driver incompatibilities). Personally I would get XP Home (x32) and save $220.

second with blue and Chiphizid, xp 64 is not necessary, there are very few programs that are 64 bit. Corsair Value performs the same as XMS unless your overclocking
Also.... I couldn't find a psu in your list. It looks like you want to go SLI in the future (SLI mobo), if thats the case, you need a SLI Certafied PSU. Here is a list of SLI certafied PSU's http://www.slizone.com/object/slizon..._powersupplies If your a big gamer, I would highly recommend this monitor. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824179014 Considered the best 19" lcd for gaming. Toms hardware now uses it as thier reference monitor. http://graphics.tomshardware.com/dis...215/index.html http://www.mistix.co.uk/review.php?id=25 http://www.behardware.com/articles/5...s-19-lcds.html |

With the amount of money invested on a sound system, I don't find the sound card "necessary" per se - I would recommend ditching that altogether and using onboard/integrated sound on the A8N-SLI. I don't think you'll need a PSU cable splitter - unless you have a particular reason for purchasing it.
