hey, this is what i've come up with:

Case: Lian Li B25B or Antec P182
Mobo: Asus P5E3 Premium (Intel X48)
CPU: Q6600 G0 stepping (with the Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler)
GPU: Asus 9800 GX2
RAM: OCZ 4GB DDR3 1333MHz ReaperX
HDD: Western Digital Raptor 150GB
OS: Windows Home Basic Vista 64Bit

I have no idea which PSU to get, opinions would be nice

I'm also worried that I might have physical compatibility issues with the RAM as the Heatsink awkward and large......
 
cheers guyys,

i thought the raptors were pretty good, 10,000rpm and 4.6 sec seek time

im not sure what raid 0, bandwidth means but i'll go on the harddrive section of the forum and try educate myself :(

what Harddrive would you recommend? i thought what most people done was get 2 HDD's... 1 fast one like the raptor ( is it really that noisy?) for programs
and 1 slower higher capacity one for storage...
 
ok this is the updated list

Case: Lian Li PC-P60B or Antec P182
Mobo: Asus P5E3 Premium (Intel X48)
CPU: Q6600 G0 stepping (with the Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler)
GPU: Asus 9800 GX2
RAM: OCZ 4GB DDR3 1333MHz ReaperX (2x2GB)
HDD: Western Digital Raptor 150GB (x2 in RAID 0)
OS: Windows Vista home premium 64Bit
PSU: Corsair 750W TX

not sure about the optical drive?? need some opinions, i know HD is no more. Should i just get a Plexter dual layer DVDRW or go all out and get the LG Blu-Ray Rewriter & HD-DVD. Would i ever use the blue-ray? lol

i guess i dont need a floppy drive? or do i? if you guys think i do then i guess i could get the floppy/card reader combo, or just get the AKASA AllInOne RED USB2 5¼" 21 Multifunction Panel with Card Reader....

anything else i have left out or consider getting? this'll be my first build :s
