New build approval and additives needed...

[seretide]

Got the spec below ready in my basket, any changes recommended?
Thnking i may have gone overboard on the mobo/cpu/memory for what i use it for?

I have a question about the motherboard-gonna be running 2 sata hdd's (1 is OS drive), 2 dvd writers, and i want to make sure it will run my ide ata-133 hdd caddy which i use for my ide ata 133 drives-quite a few of these drives are pretty new-so i want to carry on using them-is this ok with the mobo selected??

I got a case, a few fans for the case, and a floppy drive

Also need to add a few things but unsure of them;-
A decent powerful enough power supply.
Got about £100 or so for graphics card, must have at least one dvi out for my plasma.
Any cables as i aint got any at all.

Thanks in advance

Mobo - I'd go for the DS3/DS4, and save yourself some money. The DQ6 doesn't add anything useful.

HD - spot on

CPU - Good, but if you want to save money and overclock the 4300 or the 6300 will do fine.

Memory - You might as well start with some 6400 memory like the Geil or OCZ, as for about the same money you a guaranteed 800MHz memory speed.

DVD - spot on

Mouse/Keyboard - look good.

OS - Good

CPU HSF - I would choose one of these:-

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-002-NC&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=821
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-003-SY&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=821

PSU - Corsair, Seasonic, Tagen, Enermax. Choose one of them and you can't go wrong.

Graphics card - 7600 GT, 7900 GS, x1950 Pro or 8800 GTS 320MB depending on how much you have left over. See my buyers guide for more info:-
