Ok well I put together a wish list over at newegg and I need a second (and third, fourth and so on) opinion on this system that I'm planning to get. My budget is pretty much $2000 but nothing more than $2400ish (that's as far as I can stretch it). Now I'm willing to overclock it if it saves me money, and put it together accordingly. I also pretty much want to try and get the best for the most part.
This is what I have so far:
Motherboard: ASUS A8N-E
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813131530
Processor: AMD Opteron 165
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819103588
Memory: 1GB Dual Channel OCZ

Power Supply: Antec TruePower 2.0 550W

Video Card: Sapphire Radeon X1900XT

Hard Drive: 2x Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB (in RAID 0)

Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic

Monitor: 19" ViewSonic VA902b

Speakers: Logitech Z-5500
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16836121120
Now I know there's some overly expensive things in there (like the Z-5500) but trust me, it's practically a necessity . Any opinions and suggestions available. And I already have fans lined up and the case and drives are all purchased.
