Just looking to see what you guys think about the choice of components.  What I'm spending on these listed is really all I want to spend, but I might be willing to go a little higher if there is a good reason.

Just FYI your going to need to get Vista if you want to take advantage of DX10.

If your buying off of Newegg (which It think you are). Pick up this combo, ends up same price as your system but gives you another 100W.

Looks like a great build but have you considered maybe a Corsair 620W PSU (ultra quiet and modular cables)? 

Are you going to do any overclocking?

Definitely go 64 bit if you are going 4GB, you won't regret it.
