Rate my newly built gaming computer

Just built a new PC, dont know if I bought the correct parts. Please tell me if this is good enough to play the most recent and future PC games.

AMD64 3500+ 939
ASUS A8N-SLI
EVGA 7800GT
2GB Corsair XMS (1GB x 2)
2x WD 80GB SATA
Samsung 940B LCD

This would seem to be the type of question one would want to ask before investing in parts.

Rig looks good, should be able to play current games at resonable settings.

Two 80gig HDD is kind of an odd purchase if you just got them new.

I did ask and i asked you. Bought the EVGA 7800GT.
I just one 1 80G as my main drive. The other 80 is just my Data Storage. Non- RAID

FWIW there is no such thing as "correct" except for wrong CPU socket type and GPU slot type, only different. Should be fine with current and future games with the exception of a game like FEAR wher you would have to turn down a few things but not that much. Should play FEAR on high very well at lower resolutions (like 1280x960). Looks like a mainstream medium-end build with good quality parts (not sure what power suppy you have though).

Oh i forgot to mention, i bought a nice Cooler Master case with the slide out mobo tray. The power supply i bought was a Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 ATX12V. It was pretty cheap for $85 off newegg. I didnt feel the need to buy a $200 P/S.
