Hi Everybody!

I'm just about to upgrade my pc. I have done some research and this is the configuration i came up with:



- Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
- Asustek P5W DH Deluxe

- G.SKILL 2GB(1GB x 2) PC2-6400 (DDR2-800) 4-4-4-12 Dual (Not sure about RAM yet I don't know much about RAM)
I life in Australia so I'm kind of stuck with the RAM on the following page http://au.pricespy.biz/gid_178.html (could someone pls check and see if there are better RAM modules on this page)


-Graphics: ATi Radeon X1800 GTO 256MB PCI-Express (I wanted to buy a cheap Graphics Card so I can get rid of it once the Directx10 cards are out). Is that a good choice? or is there anything cheaper to last me until DX10

- Monitor: BENQ FP202W 8ms DVI 20" FP202W Wide Screen (I heard this is a good monitor for games cuz i want to play ego shooters as well is that right?)

- Harddisk: 2* Samsung SpinPoint P120 SP2504C in raid 0 (is this a good choice or should i get a harddisk with 16MB cache? Any recomendations?)

I also want to be able to overclock the machine.

I hope someone can help me putting a good machine together.
Thanks in advance

Just so you know, DX10 games wont be out until 2008 AT THE EARLIEST.
