I need some help. This is my first PC building experience, so I want to make sure I am getting good parts, that
these parts are compatible, and that I'm getting good bang for my buck. I am pretty sure on all of the items, but the motherboard. Any feedback is helpful.
This PC will be used for gaming, mainly Age of Conan.

I will be running this set up with a SyncMaster 910t 19" Samsung, and a 7200 RPM 320GB Seagate.
My main questions are:
Will these parts be compatible?
Are any of these parts not worth what they cost, or is there somewhere you know that I could get them cheaper?
And finally, a more broad question. Is there anything I should keep in mind / look out for when building a computer?
