Hello, I am finally building my gaming desktop and would like to know if you have any comments/suggestions before I hit the submit button.

Intel E6750. CPU
OCZ stealthxstream 600W PSU. <--- word has it is tier 3. I am fine with that. PSU
8800GT 512MB GPU
Gigabyte P35 DS3L mobo
Coolermaster Centrion CAC-T05 case
WD Sata 2 320GB HDD
LG Optical drive.

I'd be getting vista 64bit and 4 GB of OCZ memory from somewhere else.

Thank you,
-Adam

Few questions:
Would I see a huge difference in 667 mem and 800 mem if I have NO PLANS of OC ever?

P.S. Based on prelimanary results, I have no plan of waiting for the ATI cards. Yes, I know the early benches might be complete bull.

Mostly it's just a benchmark score difference between 667 & 800 MHz.
You probably wouldn't notice any difference in games. If it's alot cheaper you could go with 667MHz, but I wouldn't bother as 800MHz kits are dirt cheap.

Waiting for the next best thing in computer gaming is stupid anyway.
There's always the next graphics card/newer cpu just around the corner. Your 8800GT choice is good.

8800GT (y)

:mrgreen:

Doesn't really matter, but seeing that DDR2 is quite cheap nowadays faster is good if you decide to OC, and it might give the RAM a little bit more resell value down the line.

If it is a small difference in price go for 800mhz, if it is go for 667.

Quad core? Might be worth it... :D

Go for it!
