Hey, I'm building a new PC soon and just wanted advice on how these parts look. I will be using this for gaming, a little overclocking, and media storage.

LIAN LI PC-61 USB Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
ASUS P5B Deluxe Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
eVGA 512-P2-N637-AR GeForce 7950GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16
THERMALTAKE TR2 500W Power Supply ATX12V V2.0 - Retail

Don't invest your money in this good equipment and then risk possibly messing some of it up by overclocking, IMO.

 
I would definatly go with something better than a thermaltake PSU. They have weak 12v rail ratings, and use low quality components. Not a good choice for such a nice system. Enermax, Seasonic, Fortron, Enhance are all much better better quality.
 
Vanilla P5B if you are going Nvidia card.

A better PSU, ie, no Thermaltake. Check out Enermax Liberty

e6300 or e6400 and overclock to 6600 speed (or more)

22" ws (like the Acer) with the extra money.

Those are my suggestions.
