Not sure if this is an appropriate place, and if it aint - my honest apologies
I've never built a computer before, in fact, I haven't had a new one in 6 years. I'm lookin to change both those lil factoids. I 'think' I have the patience and ability to put the thing together once it gets here (knock on wood), but if possible I'd like to run my parts by peeps who know more, and get some feedback on alternatives to certain parts / possible compatibility issues and other things i just plain havent thought of.

here's what's what - so far

CPU
intel core 2 duo 6600 ($345)
- I want this...

MOBO
ASUS P5W DH Deluxe ($270)
- I'm a little more flexible here. I want a solid mobo that can support SLI (although I only have the coin for one GPU at the moment), will work well with the core 2, and will... well... not break? So basically, I know this is high end - any suggestions for something a little more affordable, but that would still do the job well?

GPU
BFG Geforce 7900GT ($270)
- BFG seems to have gotten positive reviews. Any reason I shouldnt go with them?

RAM

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 675 ($260)

or

CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail ($260)

... to let my ignorance show - what exactly is the difference between 240 pin/ DDR2 675 VS 184 PIN / DDR 400
(i.e. why are they priced comparatively ... prices from newegg, btw)

SOUND

SB x-fi xtrememusic ($121)
(... I might go for the audigy instead, just to save loot)

Hard Drive

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s ($95)
(this seemed like a safe bet)

optical

Lite-On SHM-165H6S Dual Layer DVD±RW ($30)
(ditto)

Case

COOLER MASTER Mystique 631 RC-631-KKN1-GP Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case ($100)
or
Thermaltake Eureka VC8000BWA Black Chassis : 1.0mm all aluminum Front bezel : Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case ($159)

(( this was by far the most frustrating piece to look for. I want something that is both well cooled, user-friendly, and quiet (like everyone, I guess) - problem is, relatively few cases seem to fit the bill - feedback would REALLY be appreciated

was also thinking of the Antec p150 - but heard very nasty things about their built in PSU))

PSU

PC Power & Cooling 510 SLI-PFC ATX12V 510W Continuous @ 50°C Power Supply 90 ($189)
ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT ATX12V 500W Power Supply 90V~265V (Auto Adjusted) ($109)

(neither of the above cases (sides the antec) come with PSU's)

could also really use some feedback on this particular section. I'd like something that could eventually run dual 7900GT's in SLI in addition to the rest, but really... just want something that won't stop running after a week, or month, or day, like however many horror stories people post on newegg haha.

thas bout it. If anyones got any kind of input, id be only too glad to hear it. peace.

Why do I get the weird feeling that you are XCracker and just re-registered under a different username?

If I am wrong, then please forgive me but it seems very, very odd you would be drawn to this particular thread to ask such an unusually broad and completely unrelated-to-the-topic question.

If you need Christmas gift-giving advice, you should start a new thread in the Off Topic section of this forum.
