i have done it. i have designed a system for gaming close to what you have but better and cheaper. i took your designs above and modified it slightly and gave you a better and faster processor for less money and a all around better system for gaming. it took me about an hour and half so dont be too critical on me i did work hard on this but this is a killer gaming system for under a thousand dollars that has twice as much processor, twice as much ram, and twice the video card for under a grand. if you are interested i will help you make this dream system a reality. i have priced everything at microcenter. i have one here in cincinnati and they base there prices to beat (majority of the time) to beat newegg.com i have dealt with microcenter for years and they are great. so here you go here is the system you have been waiting for.
processor- 274.99 (p.s. this is not a core 2 duo... this is a core 2 quad core alot more processor for a cheaper price)
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0257938mobo - 139.99
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0261042power suppy - 99.99
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0265147ram - two options 2 2gig for a total of 4 gigs 119.99 (79.99 after rebate)
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0259027or
two 1 gig which is what you have chosen now. 59.99 (39.99 after rebate)
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0256275hard drive.
you have found the best deal. 69.99
now here comes the part where i feel different then other people and seen it work.
video card.
the board has sli which allows you to link two cards as one well
i suggest 2 geforce 8500 gt 512mb for 99.99 each.. sli
after mail in rebate they are only 79.99 each
now since you have two of them sli together it still gives you the option of running dual monitored. and your video runns over a gig in memory.

SuperMulti 8x Dual/Double Layer 20x DVD Burner with LightScribe "SATA"
i recommend this drive due to the fact it burns in dual layer it gives you lightscribe abilities so if you like to burn labels on your discs. but you dont have to use it.
and also this drive uses sata instead of ide. trust me its makes a huge world of difference
and the card reader you can get at newegg for 12.99 or microcenter where i priced everything here is 14.99
now added up the cost of everything that i priced which would make you a killer computer system. without shipping but i am sure they will ship everything free or cheap since you are purchasing alot from them. the grand total is.
978.92 with the 4gigs of memory
and
918.92 with 2 gigs of memory but i recommend the four gigs of memory due to the fact you will not get the full effect of vista unless you have 4 gigs of memory in your system. if you have any questions feel free to email me at chadsp@verizon.net
