New Build Help? - UPDATED

[bossman34]

Okay...one more idea for ya. Found a nice combo deal with the 9400. It's an Antec 900 which has four fans included so you can drop the 2 fans in your wish list, save $5, and get a better case!

It looks like I'll save more than 5 dollars. Right on.

Edit: So the combo discount does not show up in the wishlist final price. Is that supposed to happen?

Yea, combos don't transfer to the wishlist for some reason.

Ah, okay. It looks like I might start buying parts this weekend. I'm really looking forward to this.

Alright, so I went ahead and bought the motherboard Friday, as the mail-in-rebate discount was set to expire this weekend. A couple of things have changed with the rest of the build however...

1. The memory is out of stock... How long does it take for Newegg to get stuff back in?

2. The combo deal for the Antec 900 and my processor has apparently expired. I was going to purchase those today. So there is a $40 instant rebate with the case anyway, so its still at a good price of $99. Would you guys/gals recommend a different case now that this one doesn't have the combo deal attached? I won't have any problems fitting everything in, right?

Alright, so I have ordered the following over the last few days:

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Retail

Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80580Q9400 - Retail

G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B - Retail x 2

Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit for System Builders - OEM

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

I think this only leaves the graphics card and the dvd burner. Here is what I'm looking at currently for those:

SAPPHIRE 100259L Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail

SAMSUNG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model SH-S223Q - OEM

Now the only thing here not recommended to be by folks on this site is that graphics card. What do you all think of it? Is there a better option for a comparable price?(There is some flexibility here.)
