Building my second gaming rig, Advice needed

[Mn3MoN1C]

Hey guys, I'm finally upgrading my old gaming rig after 4 years. I've set a budget of about 1200 to 1400. I plan on using it for hardcore gaming, video editing and web development. I will be ordering my parts from Newegg. I don't plan on overclocking and I would like to build it asap.

As of right now my current parts are:

Processor:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80557E6850

Motherboard:
ASUS P5K SE LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard

Video Card:
MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800 GT 512MB

Power Supply:
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply

RAM:
CORSAIR XMS2 DHX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2

Case:
RAIDMAX Sagitta 2 ATX-928WB Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Hard Drive:
Western Digital Caviar GP WD10EACS 1TB 5400 to 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

Heatsink:
XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler

DVD Burner:
ASUS 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black IDE Model DRW-2014L1

Case Fans (x2):
APEVIA CF12SL-URED 120mm Red LED Case Fan

OS:
I plan on installing Win XP Pro (maybe Vista later on but not guaranteed)


I was just wondering if this seems like a good build and if it looks like everything will be compatible. I appreciate the help. Thanks

The E6850 is an outdated processor, and has been replaced by the E8400. Runs at the same clock speed but has more cache and produces less heat. However, depending on how much of your time is spent editing video, you might consider a quad core processor. If you're not overclocking then you don't really need to spend that much on an aftermarket heatsink.

750W is far and away more than you need for a single video card setup. A quality 500W PSU is plenty.

Any links for parts I could use instead?

Couple an E8400 with the HDT-S983 HS from Zigmatek.

PSU is way overkill. Quality 500W is plenty.

Generally that's qutie a nice build.
