Hey guys, I am trying to put together a gaming computer rig. I am hoping to learn more about computers as I research which parts need to go with which others. Mind you, I am very new to computer building, so some of the choices I made may be completely stupid; enlighten me if you see any. My father, who has built many computers, is going to help me actually put it together, but I need to make sure I am picking out the right pieces. Any criticism on the pieces I've chosen, whether it be on specific hardware or the combinations of the hardware, all criticism is welcome. CASE: Aspire X-SuperALIEN ATXA6SW/500 PS Aluminum Gaming Case MB: Asus P5Q3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP @n Core 2 Extreme/ INTEL P45/ DDR3-2000/ CrossFireX/ Wi-Fi/ A&2GbE/ ATX Motherboard CPU: Intel Q9550 P4 CORE 2 QUAD LGA775 2.83G MEMORY: Crucial 4GB ,2GBX2, DDR3-1333 PC2-10600 Memory HDD: Seagate ST3500620AS 500GB SATA2 7200rpm 16MB Hard Drive CD-ROM: SONY Optiarc CRX890S-10 24X/24X/24X/8X SATA Slim CD-RW/DVD VGA: ASUS nVidia GeForce GTX260 896MB 2DVI/HDCP PCI-Express I'll be throwing in a Zalman fan or maybe the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. I am also planning on getting a 750W PSU. Do you think that will be good? I am also considering learning how to properly OC on this rig. I am also still up in the air over what soundcard to get. I want the rig to be able to run Crysis on at least medium settings, as well as Starcraft 2, when it comes out. I am planning on using Vista Ultimate 32-bit as well, since I found it for a VERY low price at my college bookstore. Any help would be greatly appreciate. Andrew
