It looks good.

Don't forget a dvd drive.

You might want to look at the e8500 instead of the q6600.

For the hd, look at the caviar black drives. They have 5 year warrenties I believe.

We usually recommend asus p5q for a mb, but that one looks good too. Look at both, and either one should be good.

Thanks,

I have a dvd drive picked. It's a Sony for $25, cheaper than a mid-range mouse, lol.

I'll definitely take a peek at the caviar black drives, as well.
