New Gaming PC Build

[Hulk]

Before I make the purchase on these parts I'd like some advice. I got a REALLY nice tax return this year and I'm using it all on a gaming computer. Let me know if there are any better parts that I can get:

Athlon 64 FX-60
Zalman CNP39600 CPU cooler
Asus A8N32-SLI DELUXE
2GB Corsair TwinX2048-3500LL Pro
Silverstone TJ06 case
PC Power and Cooling TurboCool 850SSI PSU
2 BFG GeForce 7800GTX OC
Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality
2 WD Raptor 150 HDs
Piextor PX-716al optical drive
Logitech G15
Logitech G5
Creative Labs GigaWorks s750
Dell 240SFPW monitor
Windows XP Media Center Edition

This is my fist gaming desktop that's why I need everything new for it.

There is better... a TJ07 case, and a pair of x1900xtx's or 512 7800's. Id wait a month to buy the graphics cards tho, as the 7900 series is coming out in a few weeks, and they are faster than what is currently out there.

and Water cooling.

Well that just puts my computer to shame. Top of the line for everything I see . Not a big deal but check out thermalright's xp-120 heatsinks. But I'd assume the Zalman's heatsink is relatively close so not a big deal.

Also...If you are still going to go with the TJ-06 you should check to see if the heatsink will fit with the plastic tube thing in it going from front to back. I have seen reviews where they have had some trouble with some heatsinks.

Nice choices,

pretty high spec comp....id wait for the 7900's...ive heard tj07's are like 'one of the best' so id get that...what is your price range and what are you going to do with your comp?

I'd skip the FX-60 and get a Opteron 170 and o/c that bad boy...save you a bit o' cash
