I have just put together my first self-built pc:
CASE - Silverstone TJ09 Full Tower

I'm more concerned about my graphics card and RAM setup though, I've read the 8800 GTS 320mb is very similar in performance to the 640mb...
I'm building a new system for graphics/video editing and games, please take a look at the specs below and give me some feedback. I dont have the patience for waiting on new hardware releases or price cuts so I'm going with whatever is out there right now. I dont have any specific budget either...
