How's this for a computer?

I'm putting together a computer for my birthday - it's coming up soon, and I need to get it then, otherwise I'd wait for the new stuff this summer. A few things I should say before I post all the parts: I know the video card won't last that long, what with the shaders issue, but as it performs quite well and is relatively inexpensive as far as video cards go, I'm not too concerned about replacing it some time soon.
Also, my reason for the motherboard, is that I plan on using a considerable number of PATA hard drives from my current computer, and needed some channels for that.
If you have any other suggestions for parts, please keep price in mind. I have to pay everything over a certain amount, and I'm already paying a good bit.

Why two DVD burners? Unless you'll be doing a lot of straight-to-DVD/CD ripping, I can't see much of a reason.
 
Touche, touche. I'm still thinking in PATA-only mentality, where you need even numbers of things and the like. Suppose I could fill that up with something else.

Oh, I forgot to ask, will that power supply be enough for all that, plus two 120GB HDD's, a 160, and a 400?
 
IMO that case is gross, go with something that doesn't look like it was made with power rangers on the brain.
