So for about the 3rd time in my life I need to replace my home gaming computer and Ive spent a lot of time looking up the parts for this and trying not to go over my budget of 1800.

I've been recommended newegg to purchase my parts by a friend and here is a Link to my "Wish list"

and for some reason if that doesnt work, here is a text copy of them all

Case - COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 Black Aluminum Bezel, SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

MB - ABIT AW9D-MAX LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard

Video card - EVGA 640-P2-N825-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SUPERCLOCKED HDCP Video Card

PSU - Rosewill RP550-2 ATX 2.01 550W Power Supply

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor

RAM - Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800

HD - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard

Monitor - SAMSUNG 226BW Black 22" 2 ms (GTG) DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor

DVD - SAMSUNG 18X DVD±R

CPU fan - Thermaltake CL-P0092

other -
Artic silver 5 thermal compound
Dynatron 80mm PCI slot case cooler

Looking for suggestions on this build. I'm making the purchase soon so Im hoping I got everything set up nicely. Also I am curious about the ocing ability on these if anyone has any ideas. I'm hoping to bring up the intel/ram as much as I can on air cooling.

Very good system, have a good fun with it.

I have not used max series since original AT7 (which was a brilliant board).

Not sure about PSU ? do you have to have that blue led? I?d get seasonic /seasonic -based one.

Also for just a bit more you can get better/quieter cooler. (okay, with centurion?s air tube i see why you went for it)

I've just ordered a pretty similar system ... only with a different power supply and an 8800 GTX vs the GTS :) Can't wait to build it!
