Happy Easter!

lucky.
Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129043)

I would buy an Antec pc case with the money you're spending. As for everything else, I'm sure someone else will give a much better opinion than mine.

Looks good man, that's a full on setup. My only complaint would be the Logitech Surround System. Crappy sound and quality, and about $200 too expensive. Get a good set of headphones from Sennheiser in the $150-200 range and be amazed at the quality.

Yes, for the moment XP PRO SP3, later Windows 7 64 bit. THX.

marker1514, I c the Antec 1200, but I think the Cooler Master have better air flow. In my opinion. and cost less.OK only $10 less. But remember I live in PR and Antec weight a lot more than the Cooler Master. I think those two r good case.

Willlow I need a good speaker system, not headphone(for now) what u recommend? And u think the other parts r good setup?

Parts look good and solid for the build, hope you're running 64bit OS to take advantage of that Ram. As for speakers... do you need Surround or a good set of speakers in general? If you just need a good set of PC speakers, look into the Klipsch 2.1 Pro Media, can't really beat those speakers for the price in any set up, computer, home theater, or home stereo.

I would have to dissagree with that headphone/speaker suggestion. I personally have the Z-5500's and they sound amazing even when listening to classical music. Make sure to setup a good audio codec, like ffdshow to redirect bass and upmix and such... my recomendation would be get a sound card, cause otherwise you are wasting the money on the speakers if you don't get something capable of high quality audio be it digital or optical. (audigy 4 or x-fi series)

The speakers should be found for around 200-250.... you could get a better deal than from newegg for them.....

Well, everything looks good to me also. I agree with Willow, get a pair of sennheiser headphones. They are the best. I have the wireless and they are great. Get a separate sound card, don't use the on-board sound as it is not that good if you are looking for quality. Go somewhere and listen to some speakers and determine what sounds best for YOU. Good luck.
