Hi guys,
I am about to build a new pc and need your expert advice.
I will be mainly using this for playing games. I also want it to be future proof so any advice regarding that will also be appreciated.
Feel free to add any comments.

Lite-on LH-20A1S-10C SATA Beige 20x DL DVD +/-R/RW RAM oem £16

OCZ 600SXS StealthXStream 600W PSU £47

Gigabyte motherboard GA-P35C-DS3R Intel P35 Express LGA775 £72

Intel CPU Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 95W Energy Efficient 2.4GHz SLACR G0 Stepping £163

500GB Seagate Barracuda SATA II 300 7200rpm 32MB cache Hard Drive oem £69

Corsair 2048MB TwinX XMS2 6400 C4 DDR2 4-4-4-12 800Mhz Memory Kit (2 x 1024MB) £40

Acer 19" TFT LCD monitor AL1916WASD widescreen DVI 5ms Silver £121 brightness 300 cd/m2 contrast 700:1

i have a few questions now.
will the psu be enough if i add a second GT card in the future or even upgrade my cpu or add another hd?

Do i need a PC7400 memory module to match the cpu speed or PC6400 would do?

should i wait to get a OC version of GT card cause they are currently out of stock.

Does brand name really counts cause i can get another monitor from different manufacuturer for a lot less price.

Beige DVD burner with a black case??

pass on that psu..
replace with corsair 550TX or 620HX

Since when are q6600's "pro"

Pass of the factory OC, basically it would just be more worth it to spend the extra money and get the G92 8800GTS at that point.

Brand name? no not really, just the type of panel they use to make it.
