That Apevia power supply has to go. Apevia makes very poor quality PSU's and are not reliable at all. PSU's are often overlooked and shouldn't be. The PSU is the most important component in your system as if the PSU dies, it has a chance of taking your whole system to the graveyard with itself. This PSU is very high quality and will power that system no problem http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139003 Its worth the extra $30 because you defiantly can not skimp out on the power supply.

That memory is overkill, 800MHz memory is still super fast, and is alot cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145034

Other then that, its a good build.

Find some Ram by Corsair, OCZ, Kingston, Crucial, Geil, G.Skill or Patriot. Get DDR2 800. It will save you money and give you virtually the same performance.
