hey guys, im choosing parts for a gaming pc and im wondering if you guys can give any recommendations/suggestions on the parts i've chosen
Processor: Intel C2D E8400 LGA775 3ghz wolfdale $225.56
Motherboard: EVGA nforce 750i ftw $209.99
Memory: Corsair XMS2 DHX twin 2x4096-6400c5dhx 4gb ddr2 2x2gb pc2-6400 $144.99

HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500gb sata2 7200rpm $92
DVD Writer: LG GH22NP20 $29.41
i am also sort of wondering if this motherboard is a good choice for this system. i'm not really knowledgable about this part. suggestions are welcome. i've researched about possible motherboards quite a bit, but there are so many choices out there it was really hard to narrow down
about the OS, i've read about the 32bit vista's 4gb memory maximum, so i was thinking of maybe getting 64bit vista. but after reading about the difference in performance between the two, im not so sure anymore
and also do sata and sata2 plugs both plug into the same slot?
