I'm building a new comp for christmas (already have an 8800gt) and wanted to check this spec. Want a game machine primarily. I need everything apart from the gpu. This is my first build so if I would need any extra cables due to oem hard drive or anything let me know.

Don't want to spend more than that really. I want the 2.0 speakers because of space/transport requirements. Haven't seen psu reviews for the akasa and don't know if 6750 is best for cpu. I know 2180 is overclockable but am concerned about cache for gaming. I would want to overclock btw - just am not that experienced. Would appreciate any improvements for the same price bearing in mind I want a gaming machine (crysis!). Thanks!
Probably gonna use vista 64bit btw. (know it's not that great at the moment but a friend has an extra version).
