Okay, so I might have jumped the gun a little bit last month when I started that post. But with my check this week I will definitely have all the money I need. Here's the stuff I picked last month, but I'm sure half of it's obsolete by now:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6850 - Retail - $279.99
DFI INFINITY 975X LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail - $99.99
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) - Retail x2 - $113.98
EVGA 512-P3-N801-AR GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - $269.99
Logitech MX518 2-Tone 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB + PS/2 Wired Optical Gaming-Grade Mouse - Retail - $39.99
Logitech Media Black PS/2 Wired Standard Keyboard - Retail - $14.99
Acer AL2216Wbd Black 22" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor with HDCP support - Retail - $229.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM - $119.99
LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Black IDE Model DH-20A4P-04 - OEM - $25.99

Anything I should change, or any new deals I should know about? Also, am I missing anything? I already have the power supply and case.

Also, I have a about $150 extra, so if there's anything I should upgrade...

Might wanna go with a different brand for the DVD RW drive. I've personally not had good experiences with Lite-On.

Other than that it all looks ok to me.

You should get a Q6600 because it's quad core and the same price. Lite-On is fine, but you should take a look at the Samsung DVD-RWs that are SATA with LightScribe.

Video card sold out...

Found it elsewhere for $5 more.

this, and everything else i approve

Yeah, I went for dual core back before they were useful, just to future proof, and dang was that a good investment. You won't regret it.

this is why we can't have nice things.
