But rice IS delicious.  I just don't understand what you're trying to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rice means all show and no go. If you've modded your case without having the best equipment of a particular time, then I'd call rice. If you have all the good stuff and the case mod, I'd call you a rich bastard.

Case mods are ridiculous attentionwhore shit, NO MATTER if they're with good stuff inside or not. 
That is all.

I still just don't understand what you're trying to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Learn from this man. 4GB of RAM on a 32-bit Windows is wasted (unless they fixed that problem in Vista), and 64-bit is still a bad idea because of drivers. Haven't looked at your fan, but while ASUS is known for rocking at many things, coolers are not the first that come to mind. Also, you do not need 1kW. 600 should be plenty.

So, 2 gigabux of ram is the first amendment to this rig. Also, a 600w psu is a better idea. I'll admit, I thought those two points were overkill. Hell, I thought the whole thing was- but I do want to build a fairly hefty gaming rig. It completely bites ass going from looking at my mate's 360 on a big LG LCD to trying to run Oblivion on my PC and watching a slideshow. I can run Oblivion acceptably on lower settings, but (visually) it pretty much chews major dong. Big fat pixels everywhere, and no nice lush forests/grass. And yes, I do know that Oblivion is a fine example of shitty coding. Other games look as good, if not better, at a fraction of the (system build) cost. I want all games to look good and run well, now and in the not too distant future.

Advice on CPU cooling would be much appreciated. I figure I'll go with a fan/heatsink as opposed to LCS. Any suggested brands?

Also, I'm not rich by any means. If I do this, it'll bust me back to square one financially. Which is why I'd like to either do it right, or not at all.

PS: My only concession to Ricing is that I cut a Brotherhood of Steel ensignia out of reflective black vinyl and stuck it on the side of my stock Lian Li in 2004 - which I still use today, despite the fact that I have a new(ish) black Antec P180 lying around.

PPS: I guess I wasn't strictly "ricing" anyway, as the system was  a p4 3.2, radeon 9800xt, 1GB DDR beast. Back in my day...
