As above, I just ordered all the bits I need to make my new gaming rig. This is going to be my first build and I can't wait to get stuck in! :D

Spec list is as follows:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Gigabyte GA_P35_DS4 (I wanted the Abit IP35 Pro, but I have no idea when to expect new stock to come in :( )
4GB (4x1GB) Crucial Ballistix DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz
Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB (Only £88, and will hopefully last me until Nvidia releases the G92 GPUs)
2x Western Digital Caviar SE16 400GB 4000AAKS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
Samsung SH-182MRSMN 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter - Retail
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 Soundcard (PCI) - OEM
Coolermaster Stacker 831 Black
Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU
Samsung SM-226BW 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition DVD - OEM
Creative Gigaworks T20 2.0 Speaker System

Came to a total of around £1280 including VAT + Delivery, after shopping around a little, and lets just say I didn't qualify for a 'free' OcUK pen ;)

Parts should start arriving next week, and I absolutely can't wait. Please let me know if you have any advice/questions about my new build or if I've missed anything out.

Thanks :D

I'll let you all know how it goes, and will post some pictures once I get it all set up.
