Going to be building myself a new pc mainly for gaming. Want it to be able to play current and upcoming (DX10?) games pretty well. Got some parts in mind but need your expertise to check everythings compatible (or any alternatives) and help with some others.
So far got in mind;
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - OEM
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 200GB ST3200820AS SATA-II 8MB Cache
Lian-Li PC-7 PLUS Black Aluminium Midi-Tower Case
NEC AD5170 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black)
Other than that i need opinions on ram, psu (a quiet one), gfx (was thinking of a X1950 Pro 512MB?) and a decent, quiet cooler for cpu. Also anything else i'm missing, i'll be getting a monitor at a later date (Hyundai N91W), got about £800 to play with.
