Case? Monitor? Speaker system/headset? Sound card?

You could save money on those...

i'd go with a different CPU cooler.

my Tuniq is alright. but the fan is louder than all my case fans. my case is dead silent w/o the tuniq running. and when it does run its LOUD.

you could run a p5k or ds3l to cut your board price.

do you really need a 5.1 surround, sound card, and a 22" monitor?

why don't you ditch the sound card... and maybe get a smaller monitor.......

ya.. i found the abit ip35-e a while ago.. then started recommending it heavily after it dropped to 70$ its a bit better than the ds3l
