I think we should set a budget...

.... since I am actually gonna build mine. (g).

And, looking over your sholder, (isn't that what we are doing here?) I see that your sound card has compatability issues with the Intel 975 chipset.

From the reviews in the Newegg link:

Pros: None yet unable to install with 975 Intel chipset also people having issues with the nvidia chipset as well. Sounds like a great card but for the Money not worth all the time invested to get it to work, they should be paying me to TS the card issues.

Also, why would you be installing IDE hard drives instead of the much faster SATA?
