My first build

[blknight]

Hello to all,
This will be my first build, the system will mostly be used for gaming, and for some digital picture editing, that the fiancee is into... I do not think that I will be overclocking this computer, as that stuff is still way above me... I am not dead set on any of these parts, and I am open to changing some things around, so please feel free to suggest some other parts, or other things that I might have missed! After all you guys are the computer guru's

Drop the Raidmax PSU and go with a Corsair 520 or 620HX.
Since not doing OC, don't really need the CPU heatsink(the retail CPU comes with a HSU).
Shoul look to a retail package on the DVD burner to get the burning software,OEM is generally just the drive.

Also understand that 32 bit Windows will only see around 3gb of your ram. You need 64 bit Windows to use all 4 gigs, and XP 64 is terrible, if this is an issue, use Vista 64 or only buy 2gb of ram. Putting 4gb in with 32 bit will work fine though.

If you're getting 4gb of ram, I would get 2x2gb pack instead.
