Build check - (first) midrange gaming/media build (edit: V2)

First build, so I'm flying a bit by the seat of my pants here, but let me know what you think.

Purpose is a mid-range "good enough" gaming build that'll last me a few years with some minor upgrades (second vid card SLI, maybe a faster hard drive, etc). I realize I'm not getting the full 4gb RAM without Vista64, but it's cheap and I don't feel like dealing with 64 driver issues.

I've also included EVERYTHING I'll be buying, including thermal paste, office, OS, etc.

Have mouse/keyboard already, monitor will be purchased separately (probably a dell 22" widescreen since I get ~10-15% off)

Anything I'm missing? Anything I'm wasting my money on, or should replace with something different? Anything that's worth a few more bucks to upgrade (which I don't mind doing - 2k is my max tho)?

^ +1 i agree with the huron

(edit: double post.)

i like the rig its great i will make just a few suggestions

first i would go with a western digital hdd just an opinion

next if you have a little more cash i would go ahead and get the 750 watt by corsair it has 4 6+2 pins the 650 only has 2 so if you are going to SLI down the line it would be easier and the 750watt only cost like 20bucks more.....

i am for the 64 bit os +1

personally i like artic silver 5 over tuniq TX-2

these are just nit picks(the PSU you should look at mostly) but i thought i might as well put in my 2 cents

hope this helps

The list looks fine. You honestly won't need anything above DDR2 800 (especially if you aren't going to overclock). Have fun with the build
