New Build - any good?

[swills]

Hi all. I'm new to these forums but they came highly recommended so i'm hoping you can help me. I am going for a complete upgrade. I have read a fair few of the forums posts and have put together the following.
Are there any changes anyone can suggest, perhaps cheaper alternatives to the below but equal performance?

Also not entirely convinced I have selected a good motherboard.

Anyones thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Merry Christmas!!

thanks guys, not lookin at going for a 64 bit os in the near future. The monitor i'm using will be a standard 17" Hyundai Imagequest Q770. Old school gaming CRT

Also, any particular reason for going with slower memory? Ideally i dont want to go mad on the over clocking to start with so want the best base system i can get for the money....
