Everything looks good. Is your geforce 6800xt agp or pci-e?

[rond36]

The link says it is a PCI-E card

If you have any concerns about noise don't buy those 80MM Vantec Tornadoes without buying a fan controller, at 5800 RPM they sound like a blow dryer and even have the high pitched whine of one.

yes it's a pcie16 i beleive

i read that the ball bearing type would outlast sleeves, so i picked the 2 ball bearings
what type of fans would u recommend?

[sehana]

i have considered everyone's suggestions along with customer/product support from different sites and manufacturers.

so here are the results:
changed mobo, fans, firewire card, & HDD
added tool kit, static strap [whole house is carpetted], super multi burner

ordering from both sites.

[specs seems the same as one that comes with case] [which 1 would be better to use?]

this is a first time build, so nothing too extreme yet.
don't want to mess things up [a little nervous].

notes: upgrade GPU and sound later, as i'm content with these at the moment.

uses: Sims2, Empire Earth, Age of Empires/Mythology & the like. web pages, graphics [paint shop pro 11, logo, animation.]

!! please check compatibility !!
give a 1-10 [10=high] rating as to the functionality of what it's being used for.

any building tips would be greatly appreciated.

thank u to all who have responded and will give a reply back.
