Your rig seems good to go in terms of performance but your links are forgeted up.

Also anyone know how to get one of these for my case? :D

Yeah I was looking through the page then saw that case picture randomly, and saw the LCD display thing it had going on. I want one of those /drool

A) Where are you buying it from?
B) Pre-built or building it yourself?

Go with an Intel processor. Like a Core2 Quad or maybe a 2.6 GHz i7.
(Speed does not matter as much as everybody thinks, it really is the generation and the cores. The Core2 Quad has one that is 2.83 GHz, whereas the one of the i7's is a 2.6 GHz, but performs better.)
Everything else looks good.
EDIT: You'll have to change your motherboard too.

Your processor blows. It's really bad. Look into an i5 processor from Intel or Phenom II X4 from AMD. Both are reasonably priced and won't horribly limit your decent GPU like that Athlon will.

Mine or his? (I have the i7 on my lappy, but it is the laptop version and pulls up to 3.33 GHz)

You don't know what you are talking about.

That's an alright build. If you are going with AMD then I would recommend one of their QCs.

@Nick - Lemme find the link to that. If you don't know already it is a fan controller.

Oh, just a fan controller or a temperature reader too? Cause I'd like one of those cool looking panels.
Also he does know what he's talking about.
Dual cores are becoming the bottom end of the spectrum.
JUST a fan controller and it only gives temperatures of the fans :|
