I plan on building this computer for gaming of course and have read plenty of reviews about these components. I am working with a $1,000 budget for the essential parts.
I have a list parts below which I feel will work well together. I plan on buying a graphics card, and a few other things later. Any comments or recommendations would be nice.

I would get the P5B Deluxe instead of the P5W, better oc'ing ability. If your oc'ing you should definatly get a better cooler, the tuniq tower 120 is the best, but there kinda hard to find, the scythe infinity is really good too.

Not sure, was going to wait for the DX10 to come out and drop the prices on some of the other cards. Maybe price on Geforce 8800 would be in my price range then.
