Ok, as for the case, go with a lian-li. I have an Aspire(no that one though) and hate it. I has a buntch of special connections that after market PSU's dont have. Therefore when I want to upgrade(mine only has 300watt) I am going to have to run dual PSU.

Burner/cd drive: Looks good

Ram: good

CPU: If you want to save some cash, and know what you are doing, you could buy a socket 939 3000+ Venice and overclock the hell out of it. Many people have been getting 2.6 or 2.7 on the stock cooler, but that is a good CPU.

Mobo: good

Videocard: Go eVga. They allow aftermarkets coolers and such. Either that or BFG, or maybe XFX.

HDD: Maybe Western Digital, Heard some bad storys about maxtors, but many of them are good.

Sound card: dont really need it, most motherboard have good on board surround. IMHO the only soundcard worth buying is an Audigy 2ZS

Overall a pretty good system. Just a few corrections and it should be awesome.
