Spec check

Just put together a a spec for my new build. Looking for someone with more in the know than me to just cast an eye over it to see everything looks okay, or what changes could be made?

ahh yes, i should have said, Ive got the optical, psu, case, and sound card from the system im currently using

Just looking at the prices now and i'm tempted to go for a 4870, it sets me just over budget but it seems worthwhile.

Another concern is I cant quite decide on the E8400, overclocking isn't something that i've ever really dabbled in before, maybe i should just bite the bullit and ease myself into it, or maybe AMD would be a better option?

ahh great, I think im all sorted to go pick it up on saturday morning then, cheers for the advise folks.

Should be quite an upgrade over the current Athlon 64 3000+, Radeon 9800 pro and 2 gig of ram that i am using presently
