I'd check the prices on that vid card, see if they haven't gone down.
I don't think you'll need to purchase the thermal paste seperately, as my CPU fan and heatsink came with a small tube of it. All the same, it wouldn't hurt to have it either. And if you don't use it...well, then you don't use it.
Odd that the power supply you have listed costs you $20 more, and it's the exact same as mine. Maybe there was a rebate deal at Newegg or something at the time.
I'm jealous your RAM cost less though lol. Ah well, those prices fluctuate all the time. Or maybe it's cause your choice is DDR2 800 while mine was DDR2 1000 lol.
All in all it doesn't seem like that bad of a rig. One question though...where you going to put the extra 120mm fans? I don't see slots for'em. It looks like it comes with 3 120mm's already.
I think my buddy has a case like that. It's served him well for a long time. Though the front USB ports have been worn out I believe.
Anyways, looks good man. Definitely focused on what you want to get and kept the price reasonable. I think the fans you can do without (only because the side panel doesn't have spaces to put them in, otherwise I'd go for having them), but otherwise I'd say you'll have a pretty good rig.
