You may want to consider an aftermarket heatsink. What OS do you plan on running?

unless you are running Ultimate in 64 bit mode there is no point in getting 4GB or RAM may as well get 3. With two video cards you won't get any more memory than that to address anyway. I just built a system at work and it only registers 3.25GB of the 4 installed.

Where the hell are you getting a Sonatta for $57? That is what I built my system with at work and am probably going to use for my home system.

You do need a fan for your CPU.
