Since you're not a gamer, the 9800GT video card is far more than you need. You could save some money with a 9600GT and still be fine even if you decide to try a game or two down the road.

Also, a 750 watt psu is overkill. You could get by with a lot less and save a few more dollars. jmo

There's not much need for a 3.5 floppy either. They're cheap, so if you think you might need it, then go ahead. I have 3 computers in my house, and none have a 3.5 floppy drive.
