Preface: Long post, but hopefully well thought out, lemme know what you think
Gaming rig, will over clock as needed, already have DVD drive. Using for my 21? monitor and occasionally my 47? HDTV which I?m buying soon as well.

I?m assuming the shipping will be discounted from above as they?ll bundle because I?m pretty much only ordering from newegg and clubit, but maybe they just add the individual amounts? Worst case shipping: $50.50
Worst case total $1375.50+$50.50=$1426? $1536 before I get my rebates... a pretty penny
Talk amongst yourselves, I?ll give you a topic:
I'd like to get my total to $1300 after shipping, tax, and rebates, that's only $130 from where it is now. I wouldn't mind compromising on RAM, HD, Power Supply..
Am I missing anything? Anywhere I find one of my items cheaper? Anywhere I can get a better quality item for the same price or close?
I?m considering going to the 320MB for the 8800GTS to save $80, but I don?t know since I?ll be using the 46? occasionally.
I could save $30 by going to WD5000AAKS HD?s, are they as good, better?

EDIT:
LOL... forgot case... oh well, any suggestions on a cheap, useable, case with free shipping? Or should I just go to Fry's?
