XP-90 is generally considered better for an A64 than the XP-120. I have one.

Get this fan for it also. And some Arctic silver 5.

Not going liquid cooling then? Be forewarned that fan is -VERY- loud when not controlled. I'm talking vacuum loud. No exaggeration. Not as loud as the Vantec Tornado though.

Why bother with PC 3500, unless you are going to overclock? If so, then you don't want that RAM anyway, nor do you want an A64 3400+.

The fastest RAM. My recommendation. The samsung TCCD chips can also overclock substantially.. as long as you lessen the memory timings a bit. But still faster than stuff rated at PC4000+ usually.

DVD Burner? Suggest this. Dual-layer is the way to go.

Same Videocard I would suggest. Your hard drive link is bad but raptors kick ass. Might want to invest in two and go with Raid 0. Mobo is fine.

Some people love OCZ, some don't. I wouldn't recommend for overclocking (hear it has kind of a weak 12v rail), but it's interesting because it claims it's BTX compatible, but that means you'd need a BTX case .. if BTX ever takes off.
