Please tell me if this is a well balanced system with room for a bigger more powerful graphics card in the future.
I think have decided on an Antec P182 case, Corsair HX 620 PSU with an Abit IP35 Pro motherboard, and a Q6600 Processor with the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler .A BFG 8800GT. Plus 2X1ghz DDR2 6400 Ram (unless i use Vista 64bit,in which case 2X2Ghz) any suggestions for which makeof ram? I will use 2X500 GB HD Havent picked which make yet (any ideas?) a DVD-RW and a Creative 5.1 sound card (or is it worth going for a 7.1?)
Do i need to buy any extra fans or cabling or will it all be supplied with the Case/Psu/MB/HD etc ? I have built a PC some years ago but i am still a little worried about connecting up the wrong thing:-( (or forgetting to connect something) although i guess all the plugs only go on 1 way:-))) Thanks for any advice..:-)
PS... The pics for the P182 case thread are excellent and a good help.

Thanks for replies..:) That guide looks really useful..:)
Could i get away with an Antec Sonata III Case? or would the the 500w Earthwatts PSU be to small for any possible future upgrading (like a bigger card ,Or if i decided to use the ASUS P5N32-E SLI MB. Or is SLi still not worth messing with ( I am not thinking about OClocking reallY)
