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.

I would recommend buying a PSU extender cable and a 8 pin extender cable for this case, makes cable management a lot easier for this case, also means that you are not stretching cables too meet the connectors.. Look at OcUK's Akasa cables, great price as well

Case comes with the required fans. But most people change to get better performance or noise level, though think the P182s can be quiet.

Most required cables come with the motherboard, power ones with the PSU.

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)
