TBH, it's hard to make a build with current technology on your budget.

If you're going to go AMD, I'd at the very least, pick up a socket AM3 if you want to be 'current'. You're also skimping on your PSU, and perhaps overspending on your graphics card. GTX 460's draw *a lot* of power and make *a lot* of heat, and with that case, your circulation might not be enough to keep your video card under wraps (too hot). If I were you, I'd get a better PSU, go with AM3, and maybe pick up ATI's new 6850 gfx card.

For the cost of maybe another $200, you'll have a system that will last a lot longer than your current proposed build.
