Building new computer, Is this FIne?

[Nightmare225]

Ok, I've finally decided to build my gaiming rid again and here are the parts sans the graphics card and cpu.
http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/wis...cWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=3434025
The proc I want is the e6600 (should be out in an hour at the earliest) and the EVGA 7950GX2.

I already have a case, monitor, and input devices.

My question is, are these good parts to put together for a rig? I want to overclock, so if there's something I should get, or if you have any other suggestions, feel free to tell me.

Looks about right. Maybe a tuniq tower for cooling. May or may not be days or weeks until you can actually get your hands on an e6600 btw.

TAKE NOTE:
The ASUS P5W DH Deluxe DOES NOT support any 7950gx2's atm....I discovered this before I made the mistake of buying a similar MOBO (the P5B). Check out the list of supported Mobo's on Nvidia's site LINK. Also if that doesn't convince you check out this LINK. I would recommend the Abit AB9 Pro. It scored fairly well LINK. That's what I went with for my Core 2 Duo build (and a 7950). Good Luck.

Plus, no matter which motherboard you buy, you're going to need a non-Conroe processor (a "normal" LGA775 proc.), so you can update the BIOS to a BIOS that supports the Conroe. Of course, having a spare processor that fits your motherboard is a good thing, and since Celerons are so cheap now, it wouldn't cost that much more.

Yeah, well, check out my old rig. I had it for 3 years and am getting sick of it, am finally capable of buying after getting into the high school I really wanted to get into and saving quite a few dollars too.

I've read in some places that this mobo and card have worked together after getting the newest drivers and BIOS? Can someone confirm, because I really want to overclock.

Yes, I'll be looking into that and probably get the tuniq tower too.
