Need Help! Check out my first build!

I am a first timer! So I have no idea what I am doing! although i have been reading alot on newegg and eggxpert.com lately...> Check out my build here Need Help! Check out my first build!
Everything is just fine.Very nice PC.Need Help! Check out my first build!
I dont know how that card performs but it looks quite interesting.
I have already ordered that PSU on my wish list because it was 40% off. I plan spread the cost of this rig out over the next 3 months or so. I will order the CPU last and hope for a price drop.
You want this card instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130325http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia_geforce_8800_gts_512mb/page12.aspNote that newegg also has the same card with Crysis for $20 more, so if you don't have it already and plan on getting it, can't beat Crysis for $20.

[/QUOTE]Well that card which the TC selected is actually pretty interesting.Look at it's specs.

[/QUOTE] oh wow, that card is a good bit faster, thanks. And I do need to get crysis!
Cause it's the SSC edition? The review I posted benchmarks that card as well, the 512mb at stock wins in every test at every res. SSC is already pretty oc'd, so don't know how much more you'd gain, but the G92 GTS will go much further.
The card you selected is better than the 8800GT but not the 512MB GTS so you should get the 512MB GTS.

I could throw the new PSU in my Dell XPS Gen 5, which has a p4 3.0 ghz cpu, 2 gigs of ram, and a 8600GTS. That old rig is still chuggin along nicely, It plays Bioshock at high settings and 1024 lines of vertical resolution buetifly. I could also go ahead and order that 8800GTS 512 along with the 20$ crysis and pop in my old Dell to test it out and play on it, then wait a couple months and order the rest of the parts all at once. What do you think?
It'll play, but your P4 will choke Crysis hard.
Go to Tigerdirect, you can get Vista basic for under $60.00.

[QUOTE=''MetalContra''] I am a first timer! So I have no idea what I am doing! although i have been reading alot on newegg and eggxpert.com lately...> Check out my build here [/QUOTE] You need another motherboard..that motherboard only supports 4X on the second PCI-E slot (you're actually gonna want two-16X slots performing at full bandwidth). You may want to consider the 680i or 680i-LT motherboard 680i-motherboard as a better choice for reliability and SLI'ing. Also you need to pick up the 8800GTS-512 (G92) card instead, it has newer technology (65nm, keeps it cooler, more overclock-ability) and performs close to the GTX. I'd also recommend some type of 3rd party heatsink/fan for your CPU because the intel one is crap.. this AC Freezer 7PROis cheap, quiet and very effective. Everything else on your list seems to be pretty good though.
