This will be my first time building a computer, and I was hoping to get some recommendations. This is what I have selected so far:

Nzxt Lexa case
Opteron 170
a8n32 mobo
evga 7800 GT
x-fi xtreme music

Any suggestions on power supply, heat sink (how is the stock one?), and ram (1GB)?

Down the line, I hope to dabble in overclocking, but not immediately. Will be using system for video editing, ripping music and dvds, video recording, and some gaming.

Thanks in advance.

The stock HSF is fine, but if you want to keep things cooler and quieter I would get a Zalman one.

For the psu, OCZ powerstream 520
