Please, critique my build

Hi

This is the first PC I've put together in like 4 years, and I could use some feedback. This is what I'm thinking of getting (gaming is 95% of my use)

Case: Antec PERFORMANCE TX TX1050B Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W ATX12V v2.0 Power Supply - Retail

RAM: CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) System Memory - Retail x2

HD: Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 10,000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz 4M sharing L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail

MB: ASUS P5B Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Vid Card: SAPPHIRE 100149L Radeon X1900XT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI Express x16 CrossFire Video Card - Retail



I would really appreciate comments and suggestions. Any further advice on MB's? That's my weakest area.

Thanks

Looks good. Core 2 Duo builds require DDR2, not DDR. Go with DDR2-800 from Asus' certifed list and you'll be all set.

Don't forget optical drives and Windows XP.
