Decided to take the jump.

Here is my list so far. Am I missing anything other than the power supply (just havent decided on one yet)?


RAIDMAX Smilodon Extreme Black ATX-612WEB SECC STEEL Case

ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard

GIGABYTE GV-NX79T256DB-RH GeForce 7900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card

SIIG USB 2.0+FireWire+10/100/1000 Combo Card Model JU-2NG011

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 2.13GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6400

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 675 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-5400c4

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

SAMSUNG 18X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black E-IDE/ATAPI Model SH-S182D/BEBE



Does it look like everything will work together?

Im not a big gamer. Matter a fact I cant tell you the last time I played a game on my computer. I mainly use my computer for web design, photoshop, video/sound editing, and internet.
But I do want the option to play the latest games, or atleast be able to upgrade my cards to play the latest games.


Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Looks good mate, will play most of the latest games at high settings.

I'd recommend about a 500W PSU for what you have in there - check some of the other threads for recommended manufacturers.

Looking good, have to disagree with WM about the power supply, go for at least 550w, i would go for 600w though :D

That will play anything out now on High graphics, and will do for a while yet :)
