I have decided to build a gaming pc, this is my first build as i have always bought complete systems and just upgraded components as and when.
From my current pc i will be using the following
Viewsonic VX2025wm 20.1inch widescreen monitor
Saitek Gamers Keyboard
Logitech MX518 Gamers mouse
Pioneer dvd/dvdr drive
I will also be using a Leadtek Nvidia 7800GT for now and upgrading once Vista and DX10 is released.
So far i have ordered a few components
Case

Motherboard

Soundcard

Harddrive

I have decided to go for a Intel Core 2 E6600, but i am unsure of memory and power supply can anyone suggest what might be a good match.
I know i will need about a 600watt power supply and some DDR2 memeory(2gig) i intend to overclock the pc to get the best performance, is there anything else i will need to complete my system ??
I mostly play fps games with BF2142 being my current favourite before that it was cod2
Thanks in advance
