When taking a look at your graphics card, I went surfing on the shop websites here on my home turf, and here, you can get a GeForce 6800 card for 15% more. Difference: your Leadtek WinFast GeForce PX6600 GT TDH:
[*:a444b3ba5d]128-bit memory interface[*:a444b3ba5d]128MB RAM [*:a444b3ba5d]8 pixel pipeline
MSI NX6800-TD256E:
[*:a444b3ba5d]256-bit memory interface[*:a444b3ba5d]256MB RAM (don't know if it is faster. 128MB should be enough, though)[*:a444b3ba5d]12 pixel pipeline
In this thread there is a message that explains briefly, but well, the importance of the various features of graphics cards. Here's an old review illustrating the performance of the GeForce 6800. It does not contain a comparison to the GeForce 6600, but this one does.

If you are planning on running everything in a high-resolution, you may want to consider the GeForce 6800, as it scales better for higher resolutions than the GeForce 6600 GT. However, if you are planning on running everything in the area of 1024x768 or 1280x1024, then you should do fine with the graphics card you are planning on getting.

That RAM you specified (the OCZ Gold Rev3 512 X2 ) --- are they PC3200? Since your motherboard and CPU both support PC3200 RAM, I suggest you invest in such RAMs. And are they DDR2 RAMs? Because acording to the motherboard's specification, it only supports DDR SDRAM, not DDR2.

Now I'll hit the sack. Cheers, and good luck.

yes my ram is DDR pc3200....and lookin on Newegg today found this
XFX PVT42EUDE3 6800XTreme 256MB DDR3 256 Bit for $99.77 after rebate sence my price range is about $100 this is Lookin Good

I take it the RAMs you have then are OCZ Gold Edition 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory *takes a deep breath*.

this is Lookin Good

I'd say. It's a really nice build. Best of luck during your assembly

p.s. Depending on which games you are playing, you might want to consider 2GB of total system RAM sometime later --- particularly if you are running Windows XP or Vista. Otherwise your computer might/will start swapping a whole lot, and that downgrades performance quite a bit. As far as I can see, there is nothing preventing you from buying another set of the RAM you are planning to get and still running dual-channel, so consider that a future upgrade if you feel your computer is not performing well enough.

Thanks man....

There, that's easier to read, lol. Oh, and Windows will page regardless of the amount of RAM unless you change the default settings.
