What processor are you looking at. Looks like you accidentally put the PSU link.

Haven't heard of that Gskill Ram before, also doesn't have any reviews. I'd maybe go with this kit Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBHK - Desktop Memory better timings I believe and same speed.

Unless I'm blind or overly tired(wouldn't be the first time) I can't find how many rpms that HDD spins at. I'd recommend this one Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives I've got it, fast, quiet, cool, works great.

Edit: Corsair has a great deal on their 550w, $30 MIR so its crazy cheap counting that. Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Power Supplies

I would go with this power supply instead. It has a little more headroom, 550 watts and after the rebate it's $20 cheaper.

You'll get better performance from this HDD: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD7501AALS 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives

Are there a 500 gig version of the hard drives that you guys recommended because I'd rather spend less than $70 - $80 on the hard drive

[Slaymate]

Here you go

Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives

[UmarAllAroundYou]

k so so far the 2 things i have changed are the
Hard drive: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives
Memory: Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBHK - Desktop Memory

Also, are there any other good quality hard drives out there for 10 - 15 bucks cheaper?

[Slaymate]

I'm using a couple of these. One for Vista 64 and the other has Windows 7. They've worked good for me
