Pay an extra $10-20 for the Audigy 2ZS "Gamer". Comes with $200 worth of decent games. Other than that, lookin good. I have the same setup with that card and those speakers, you really cant get better sound for the price.

I suggest you look into a raid setup, It will make stuff load much faster.

At least double your ram, or else that fat video card is going to eat all of it and you wont have any left for your system.

I dont know what mouse that is, but mx700's can be had for less.

If you want to save a few bucks, recycle a floppy drive (sony drives are really loud anyway)

Thats just my thoughts, and for $200 you go from kick ass to extreme.

If you can, try to upgrade that video card to a 6800 GT. That card will keep you safe for a good while. Here's a review.
