High time I updated my system, and I'd thought of using these components:

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX (2x1GB)

Asus P5B (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz

I have a decent case (SavRow SR-71), good psu (Seasonic 600W), decent optical drives.

I mainly use my computer for gaming.

Does anyone have any comments about the above components, their potential compatibility, and such like?

Thanks for all suggestions and input.
 
Thanks all for the replies, the RAM recommended looks much better value for money.

In addition the Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650 looks definitely attractive.

Would it be worth spending the extra (a substantial extra too, £60-ish) and going for the Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 over the E6600? What do you think?
