get rid of the 8600GTs. Add 1 8800GT and get a 500W power supply. That should put you around ~660. Take a few dollars off by not getting keyboard/mouse etc. Also I would get the 250GB (even though you might not need the extra ~90gb) for $5 more. .05cents a gb is hard to pass up.

This is what I finally revised it too, and I got a free 500W power supply. Is there anything wrong with any of this?

Was more for CoD. You can run a 7300GT on WoW and still run fine.
