Getting back into it!
I'd downgrade some of that shiznit.
It's like your asking to waste your money.
What people don't understand is that you don't have to spend ALL of your money.
I am a firm believer in "if its worth doing, its worth doing right" but that PC looks uneccesary!!$)@I$

Good choices !!! Buh if i was you id get a 6800 gt..Ultra in my eyes is a waste of money..You wont notice a diffrence between the 2, stay away from pny 6800 gt or ultra there fans die out, stick with bfg evga gigabyte leadtek. O btw i own a 200 gig seagate hd and it soooooo quite, i luv it buh mine tends to get hot, id advise a hard drive cooler to extend its life. Other then that great mother board choice, i own the older neo's (very stable,n they overclock by them self's)
screw it, get a 9800 pro for around $200 and save yourself the money. i bought mine for $220 off newegg, works like a charm. and yes of course there are better cards out there now, x800 platinum and the x850 and whatnot, but that doesn't mean the "lower end" cards are shit. the 9800 pro was top of the line a year ago, and games now aren't that much advanced (except for doom3) that you'll see a dramatic decrease in graphic quality. and even still, i've played doom 3 with my 9800 pro and it worked fine. sure i couldn't turn the graphics up all the way but it still looked sweet and played at 60fps. also, you really don't need 2gb of ram. 1gb would suffice perfectly fine and be a lot cheaper. hell i use 512mb ram and i've been able to play every game perfectly fine, mine isn't even dual channel

everything looks good to me kid. just make sure you dont cheese out on the powersupply or you wont be able to overclock anyway. its like having a good alternator in the car. you know the deal. low voltage = unstable.
anywho, just get a nice chunky heatsink, none of the thermaltake shit - they moved to asthetics a long time ago, they are the audiobahn of the computer world. take a look at the swiftech line of heatsinks, i got the orgional swiftech MCX-462, and im OC'd 200mhz and im at 37 degrees. most people are nigh on 45 or 50 at load when NOT over clocked max of 40 for me.
then just make sure there is adiquet airflow through the case, and make sure the cables are tidy so the air CAN flow =P
check these sites for a bit more info-
http://www.bit-tech.com (forums are so incredible)
http://www.tomshardware.com (great reviews)
http://www.hardocp.com (tons of overclocking\pc info)
that should get you started... but check for reviews of the geforce6800 cards on those sites, and whatever they give higher ratings, thats what id recommend. they benchtest lots of stuff.

The reason why Im going with 2gigs of ram is be the game I play, World of Warcraft, is very ram effiecent, and since I am not going to get a sound card and using the onboard sound Im just going to go with 2 gigs of ram.
Req... I know i need to find a better case and PSU... I think i may have found some but Im still looking... People keep telling me to look into Lian Li but there to expensive for a case. I think I may just go with a coolmaster case with a enermax PSU or something along those lines... also going to look into the heatsink you suggested.
