I would go for another GPU if you dont find it really cheap somewhere (GTX460 or tomorrow the 6900 series), and also switch to 2*4GB instead of 4*2GB ram for future upgradeability.

There will be a new socket from both intel and amd in less than six months, if you can wait you should (again future proofing).

I don't know the price nor have i read the reviews of the sound card but integrated sound is decent these days, i don't know if it will be a big difference.

 

just my thoughts

You should be fine with an 800w psu from any trusted manufacturer. For future proofing though, 1000w should be plenty.

 

a short list of manufacturers I'd trust

 

OCZ

pc p&c

Corsair

Antec

If your going to go Phenom II X6 you may as well save some money and get the 1055T and overclock it to the same levels as 1090T

As to that link please do not buy any of those XClio cases. They might look ok online but in person they are hideous and have really crappy airflow.
