Not a bad choice of parts. Only thing I would question quality-wise is that Rosewill memory. Usually Corsair, Kingston, Crucial, OCZ, and Mushkin are better brands.
With that Plextor DVD burner, you're paying for the name. Yes, they're good, but so are other cheaper brands. Liteon makes some reliable drives. Here's one that's equal to the Plextor and even faster in some respects. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106013 Only other thing is the video card. That's a nice one, but unless you really want the VIVO feature, you can get a 7900GT for $90 less, and it's faster. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130282 Those are just minor things though and like I said, the only thing I question the quality of is the ram. Everything else looks like some good choices.

Looks like a great build. Other than what juppy said, I don't see anything wrong

I have one suggestion, switch to a harddrive with a 16MB cache. Here is one at the same size.

As mentioned, get the 7900GT instead. It is a better performer for less money. I'd also ditch the Rosewill ram and go Corsair, OCZ, Crucial etc.
