Ok first build coming up, Ive been itching to do this for a while and have a plan together but want some advice on the parts from you guys. First off let me say that I cant wait to build cause, I have the money now and getting some bonus (work) money soon, plus my wife and I are trying to get pregnant and I know that if I wait till dec. or jan. she probably (hopefully) will be pregnant by then and will get pissed if I spend a bunch of money on a system then
.trust me if I order now before she gets pregnant it will be much easier for me. Heres what I got together.

I also already have a sound card, keyboard, mouse and monitor.
First is there anything I am missing, like I said this will be my first build so if you need to suggest something and embarrass me please do! I mostly game but do very light home movie editing.
Also should I possibly just go with a 3400+ since I already have a 6800GT? Meaning is it worth it for me to get the 939 socket or not since I will not take advantage of PCI-E any time in the near future because of my new 6800GT. Is the 3500 that much faster or will it be good for me to get for future upgrading of my cpu? I dont plan on overclocking right away since that would be new to me as well, but would like to experiment with it in the future. Thanks for any suggestions, please help me in any way you think you can.
