I'm putting together a new machine for myself from parts from newegg.com I've been researching the forums like crazy, and this is what I've come up with. I'm mostly using this for gaming and programming. I'm thinking about overclocking as well, though I've never done it before.

Total cost comes to $773.98 after shipping. Any feedback would be appreciated. I'm confident about what I've chosen for most of the stuff except maybe the power supply. Also, will I need anything else, such as cables? I'll be using my previous Sound Blaster Live 5.1 or the onboard sound, so I'm not worried about that. I also already have a wireless DLink NIC, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, so that's not needed either.
Thanks for you help,
Jason
BTW, to the moderators or whomever, I've noticed that there are a lot of this type of post (new machine...want confirmation on parts before purchase). Perhaps a separate forum would be useful? Most people post these into the CPUs forum, simply because it is first on the list. I know it would also help on the research end.
