When buying a computer, some people take the smart option, and some people just buy the most expensive stuff all the way round.
If I were you, I would go with a 965P motherboard, a case that isnt ridiculously expensive, cut the sound card, and maybe try to find cheaper parts. Maybe check the benchmarks of the gtx against other models and see f you think its worth the extra $250.
My computer that I bought 4 months ago:
E6600
2GB DDR2 800mhz c4 RAM from corsair
GA_965P motherboard
250GB IDE HDD (which even though 20 mins of halo = 20GB I still can manage on)
Hiper 580W PSU
2 x dual layer dvd writer 16x cd 52x
X-Blade midi tower case
Nvidia GeForce 7900GTO 512MB
Saitek Eclipse keyboard
Razer Diamondback 2000DPI mouse
I think that is everything, and that came to about $1600 dollars, and that was 4 months ago, and I live in the UK = more expensive computer parts.
Of coures it is your machine, but I just thought you might be better of saving and upgrading some stuff later.
