I am new to building a gaming system and wanted some input before I start buying parts. Here is what I have come up with and within a reasonable budget. Please list any concerns you have with these parts.
ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80557E6750 - Retail
OCZ SLI-Ready Edition 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2N1066SR2GK - Retail
2X MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600AAJS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply - Retail
COOLER MASTER Centurion 532 RC-532-SKN1 Black Aluminum bezel, SECC chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
Sony NEC Optiarc 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model AD-7191S - OEM
All of this prices just at $1100. My goal is to see how much bang I can get for my buck. I have over 3k to spend but really would prefer to get the most for my money. All I really play is CS and WoW so not sure if that helps. I also use photoshop cs3 as well as a few other programs for web editing and programming.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Levi
