Should just be standard DDR not DDR 2

Why spend $299.00 on a 7800GT when you can get a 7900GT for less?

Did you already buy the parts?

For one, Aspire fans are an "unknown", meaning not that many have used them and posted their comments.

Second, SLI motherboards are a waste of money if you don't plan on going SLI, and I definitely would not recommend getting two 7800GT cards.

On that note, there are better options than the 7800GT. What games do you play, or are planning to play?

If you don't need the modular cables on the PSU, there are cheaper options that are just as quiet and reliable - although they may not be as aesthetically appealing.

As somebody already mentioned, the memory should be DDR, not DDR2.

For $3 more, you should go with the Samsung SP2504C. 50 more gigs AND it's the quietest 3.5" HD available at the moment.

I'd go with a NEC ND-3550A instead of the Sony writer, since it's the more popular drive. The Sony might be a good drive, but I'm just more comfortable with something that's more widely used.

D-Link's stuff isn't that great. I'm also curious why your desktop machine needs a wireless adapter.
