That's what I have so far. I know I still need a dvd drive. What do you guys think? I'm trying not to spend over $800.

Should I go for Vista 64 bit or XP 64bit btw?

Neither...hold out for Windows 7.

Case, power supply, optical drive...CPU cooler...maybe other fans for case. Monitor, keyboard, mouse...

Why not get some faster RAM to suit the motherboard and cpu? PC1333 should run ok on that system.

I'll leave the case up to you.
