I already have optical drives, keyboard, monitor, ect. Will probably go with either XP home or Pro since I'm still not a fan of Vista.

Pretty good list, just a few suggestions.

The Motherboard is a good one, but now a generation old. Check out the Asus M3A instead.

Your video card is also old tech now. Go with the new 8800GT with the G92 core and 512MB. They are updated versions with much better performance.

The graphics card is the old G80 core. The new G92 core is better.
If you looking for something in the price range of that 8800gt 320mb look at the EVGA 8800GS its equiped with the new G92 and is easily overclockable to 680/2000 in most cases.

What games are you currently playing or plan on playing?

This is the ram i have in my rig and its very good and a llittle bit cheaper with no rebate.

There seems to be a lot of issues concerning the M3As. Is there a good solid one that is tried and tested?
