Evaluate my Build pt Deux

[freeman2k6]

Hey again everyone. A month or so ago I posted my system build parts here...it's been a while and I've made a few changes--due is a large part to suggestions here. I wanted to post that new list here for evalution...since I am in Iraq, and the only information I can get is from the internet. So I am somewhat "out of the loop." That is why I am very open to suggestions In any case, I apologize if this is redundant and offensive to anyone here.

Just a few notes: I am coming back from Iraq in about 2 months or so,however I plan to order these parts withing 2-3 weeks from now. This will be my welcome home present to myself. Built mainly for gaming, yet somewhat future proofed. Also looking to dabble a little bit in OCing..it would be my first time. Well..here we go with the parts,

CPU - AMD 64 X2 4400+ - $545 Zipzoomfly

Nice setup IMO. The only thing I'd change is the NEC floppy to an Alps

As for other stores, I have heard good things about xpcgear.com and they tend to have some of the best prices.
