Do not order from BuyXTreme gear, they are sold out on everything and will never tell you, back ordering you for a month. Stick to www.zipzoomfly.com and www.newegg.com
Stick to the Geforce 6800 GT, $100 less than the ultra but only a fraction slower
Don't bother with the raptor unless you're gonna get two and go Raid 0, otherwise it's not worth the $ for similarly good shit like a WD JD
And wtf are you doing with the RAM? You don't need higher bandwidth, you want lower latency. With an A64 all you need is PC 3200 basically. 3-4-4-8 is disgracefully slow. Get stuff with 2-2-2-5.
