Parts for Gaming rig, need feedback...

Ok, I got an Abit NF7-S V2.0 mainboard, a Zalman ZM500-HP 500 Watt Heatpipe Cooled Quiet-Power Supply, a Razer BArracuda HP-1 Integrated Audio System, and a XFX GeForce 9800 GTX Video Card...

How about it?

*Also, 800 MHz, 2GB Ram, 230 GB HD

1. Budget?

2. OCing?

3. What resolution do you play at?

Make sure you have some case fans to push air and cool that PSU. The Zalman quiet PSU's are o.k, but you don't want to burn it out so make sure it gets a little ventilation. As for the Abit NF7-S, that's an nForce 2 board for an Athlon XP CPU with an AGP slot, so you can't use a PCI-E card like the 9800GTX on it. I think you listed the wrong board. Also, I wouldn't get an Abit board since they dropped out of the motherboard business so you can't really expect too much support from them.

^+1. I recommend ASUS and Gigabyte.
