Just asking what you guys think of these parts. This will be my first comp (but not my first build), and Im asking you helpful people to see if I have made any mistakes.

CoolerMaster Praetorian
NEC Black 3520 DVD/DL-R/W
3500+ 90nm Winchester
6600GT XFX
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
160GB DiamondMax10 Maxtor
1GB (2x512mb) Patriot XBLK
Creative P5800 5.1 Speakers
Tagan 480w Silent PSU
Logitech MX510
Logitech Internet Navigator SE
 
It looks very nice, but I'll throw out some suggestions just in case. I would reccomend going for an Nforce 4 motherboard, and a pci-e graphics card. Upgrading will be much easier down the road, as you will be able to pop in another one of those 6600 gts and once again have great performance. If money is at a premium here, go for a 3200 or a 3000 64. I don't know anything about the power supply, but you can never go wrong with antec. Have fun with the build.
 
I'd personally go with:

PSU: Enermax
Ram: Kingston, Corsair, or OCZ

Everything else makes a really nice system.

Good Luck!!
 
that patriot ram is fine, i dont know y so many people like to bash on the name. i have never herd anything bad about it and it should be just fine!
 
THX for all that, but I already got PSU, case, mouse, and keyboard.
I am planning to upgrade to nForce4 in about 6 months, but I will wait until all the bugs have been ironed out of the chipset. You always have to take a dive when you buy the first rev of chipsets, and with money a little short for this, I dont think I want the chance of wasting it :D
