Hi guys.

I have bought 3 items from the Members Market:

e6420
MSI 7900gto
P35-DS3R Gigabyte mobo

And am looking at buying these to complete my build:

Antec 300 Three Hundred Case - No PSU

Samsung SpinPoint HD501LJ 500GB SATAII Hard Drive 16MB Cache - OEM

Sony DRU-190S 20X DVD±RW DL & DVD-RAM Serial ATA - Retail Multi Bezel & Nero

OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL 4-4-4-15 PLATINUM XTC with LIFETIME WARRANTY

Corsair TX 650W PSU - 120mm Fan, 80+% Efficiency, Single +12V Rail

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound Thermal paste 3.5gram

Done my homework, and this seems good to me. Any advice or anything you would change?

Anything I am missing?

Thanks guys :)
 
Nice spec... solid mobo, good low-price CPU, fast HD, reliable PSU. I might look at going for 4GB RAM as it's so cheap, particularly if you're thinking of running Vista. Don't know if you're a gamer, but that graphics card won't be too hot with most modern stuff.

I am a bit of a casual gamer - just wanted something to play a few games until I can shell out the big guns for a 4850 in the future :)

Maybe 4GBs of RAM in the future, on a budget ya see.
 
Ooooooooooooooooo, i forgot a cpu cooler! :eek:

Anyone recommend one? :)

BTW, how would my spec be noise wise?

EDIT: CPU cooler may be this one if its any good : Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 Processor Cooler
