Help confirm this

Here is my PC setup to the exact and I'm asking for someone just to confirm that all of the hardware is compatible. I'm pretty much sure it is right but I don't want to spend 1000 dollars and wait for a new part. If you could that would be great!

Four things:1) Get a better motherboard, that one is pretty poor.2) Get a better powersupply, that one has lots of people saying it killed their system.3) Get a better CPU, I wouldn't recommend getting anything below a 3800+ at this time and even thats not very highly advised IMO.4) Good company, wrong standard. Get yourself a SATA 3.0Gb/s HDD. IDE is an old technology and current motherboards only have it right now for backwards comp and compatability with some things like CD drives that still use it.
Thanks for the sujestions. All probabaly use your advice
here is a better psu for the moeny http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817189005
Out with the PSU. CPU is fine if overclocking otherwise get a C2D. 8800 instead of 2 7600GTs. You can run into some issues with 64-bit Vista, i wish you luck.
Ok so instead I got the kit of RAM, replaced the PSU with XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W ATX 500W Power Supply, removed the dual 7600 video cards and put in a EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card, and I replaced the old hard drive with the Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive. Ok but I need help with the motherboard, whats so bad about it?
Looking better, maybe you can get a 320GB for about the same price. Yup

The mobo should be fine.
So here is the complete and updated hardware list: XION Solaris XON-406 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive SAMSUNG 941BW Black 19'' 4 ms (GTG) DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor XFX MB-N590ASH9 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard EVGA 256-P2-N761-AR GeForce 8600GTS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card ASUS Dual Panel Black and Silver ATAPI / E-IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model DVD XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W ATX 500W Power Supply Logitech R-10 4 Watts 2.0 Speakers Logitech 967973-0403 Black PS/2 Standard Deluxe 250 Desktop Mouse Included G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ Brisbane 1.9GHz Socket AM2 Microsoft Windows Vista 64-Bit Home Premium for System Builders Single Pack DVDP.S. I will upgrade and get a second video card later on and BTW the can't go over $1,000
Two suggestions:1. Get a DVD burner instead of reader. You may want to back up something.2. Get Vista 32-bit instead of 64-bit. It has better compatability with existing apps and device drivers. * unless there is a specific reason you need 64-bit
Ok I orderd it, thanks for your help!
