Hopefully below is my final parts list. I'm a geeky lady who is excited to build her first computer. What have I forgotten? anything?

Case: Antec Nine Hundred Two Atx mid tower case

PSU: Corsair HX Series CMPSU-750-HX 750W

MB: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P LGA 1156 Intel P55 STAA 6GB

CPU: Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8 GHZ 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad

RAM: (2) G.SKill 4GB (2x2gb) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 133 (PC3 10666)Dual
Channel Kit Desktop membory Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBHK - 8 GB total

Graphics: Radeon X1550 512MB PCI-E --- because someone gave it to me

HD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALs 1TB 7200 RPM 32mb Cache

Optical DR: Sony Optiarc CD/DVD 2MB Cache Sata Burner OEM

Everything will be purchased through Newegg. For good measure I purchased Rob's book.

I know my way around the inside of a computer quite well, but I still feel I'm jumping off a cliff!

Thanks to anyone who want to chime in and give comments on my set-up.

I backup to another computer on my network. I'll add a second hard drive later. Thanks for your comment.

I just found out Newegg is low on stock for the ram I want to purchase. I want a total of 8gb and they only have 4gb in stock.

I'm thinking of changing the ram to that described below. Can anyone tell me if it's a good choice.

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL8D-4GBRM

Thanks,
Kyle

Instead of buying two 4gb (2x2gb) kits, why not get a single 8gb (4x2gb) kit. Like this.
