Awesome PC
Alright I'm currently working on building a brand new PC, for gaming I want it to be awesome, and here is the parts list so far (someone recommend a module power supply for 120 or less).
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811133154 Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148146 Monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148146 Mother Board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131163 Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130078 Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103941 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103941 Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103773 Oh and one more thing... I was thinking of getting a Dual CPU motherboard, I was wondering what the advantages (over the obvious) would be |

Sorry, I don't like to click on links so I don't know what you've chosen. Someone else will come by to help you with that.

I think you're going to want something more powerful than that 550 watt Antec if you're running a 8800GTX. You'll definitely want to get a SLi certified one if you plan to run two 8800GTXs in the future. SLi certified power supplies.

Side note: Your PSU and RAM are for some reason the exact same thing. Same situation with your HDD and monitor.
For what it is worth, the 8800 will likely drop in prise once ATi's R600 hits the shelves. That is a bit of a guess, but the R600 has been benched and is said to perform better than nVidia's flagship. Oh, and it is supposed to be released this month.

The 6000+ is a waste of money. A cheaper Intel Core 2 Duo outperforms it.

Actually any processor much less than $1000 will throttle a 8800GTX, so why bother buying a $500 processor?

A Core 2 Duo E6700 performs better than the Athlon X2 6000...
