This is my first attempt at a home build so I've already asked what bits to get but I want some advice before I order.

Subtotal £668.80

Does this seem ok to you?
Am I likely to have problems with this, like cables not long enough or wrong PSU?
As I'm not planning on overclocking any time soon should I be getting different components?
Are Sapphire a good make of card or have people had problems with them?
I have gone with the Audigy SE 7.1 because I only have old stereo speakers so there's no point in getting X-FI, but I saw in another thread not to bother getting a cheaper sound card and just use on board sound untill I get better speakers.
Any advice would be appreciated.
