New PC advice

[vtr1000]

Been saving my pennies and have approx. £950 for my dream machine.

Looking at:

E6600
2GB 800Mhz Ram low latencey
Mobo - not sure - but need reliable one for gaming and video editing
88000GTS 320Mb card - BFG looking good.
Quiet - good cooling gaming case - Antec 900 looks the daddy.
2x 500GB 16MB cache drives - WD
Onboard sound - if decent mobo
Gig lan
Firewire
Power supply - quiet
DVD burner - preferably with Light Scribe- any good recommendations?


The main areas I am looking for advice on a good memory mobo combination that will work with the Antec case and a decent power rated power supply preferably as Eco friendly as poss and enough power for the gaming !

The E6420 will clock quite easily to 3GHZ and above. The memory fantastic, it will do 800MHZ 3-3-3-12, 1000MHZ 4-4-4-12.

The ASUS P5B Deluxe one of the best board around, very stable and reliable.

80GB hard drive for your O/S and that. Then the two 320GB Hard Drives for storage and stick them in a RAID 1 config for backup.

BFG 8800GTS cant go wrong with it.

The Samsung drive will do fine.

Since your a gamer the Creative Soundcard, you will be impressed with it.

The Corsair 520 PSU, extremely quite and very reliable.

Then the Lian-Li case, build quality is brilliant. I love mine.
