I want to build a decent gaming machine for about 1100 dollars I have some of the parts picked out, but need some advise on the others. ps. I don't plan to overclock now, but plan to in the future when the need arises.

Here are my parts
skt939 3000+ -150
msi neo2 plat. -140
bfg 6800 vanilla -250
80GB WD hdd -60(already have one for my xbox, so I might use that)
Case/psu Antec case /w 430w psu- 125
nec 16x dual dvd burner. 65~
xp home 90~
now, I don't know what ram to get, it doesn't need to be good overclocking ram, because I will probably buy new ram if i overclock, I would like to keep it around 150-165 so I have a few dollars for kb/m. I have monitor and speakers. What do you think of my parts so far.
 
everything is great

but i'd get the awsome DFI Ultra-D at zipzoomfly while there still there for 147 shipped 2day and a 6600 PCI E ( same prices as your 6800 vanilla but better card)

as far as the ram, I suggest you get you get atleast a GiG of ram. Why get cheap ram now and spend more later to OC? Get the good stuff now and it'll outlast your CPU for a good while.
