I aim to build my first computer in the coming months, but need some hardware suggestions. What I have in mind so far is:

Case: Antec 900, Antec P182, Cooler Master 690

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/product/prod [...] 6820146565

Graphics Card: 8800 GTS 320 MB or possibly the 2900 Pro

HDD: http://www.newegg.com/product/prod [...] 6822148136

Optical Drive: Either this http://www.newegg.com/product/prod [...] 6827152079 or I'll just re-use the one I have now, it's only a few months old.

The rest of the parts I'm not sure on. The computer will mainly be for gaming, I do wish to overclock, my budget is around 1500. I need speakers and a monitor as well. I'd prefer a 22" monitor.

Budget? Why not a GTX? How big a screen you want?

Case is good. RAM is good. HDD is fine. Get a GTX if you have the money. Q6600 or E6750 is the typcial choice these days. Monitor is your choice.

I already listed my budget. I wont be getting an 8800 GTX because I dont believe it fits in my budget.
