I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new PC. I do mostly gaming with some slight video and image editing thrown in.

Heres what I got so far

Power Supply = Seasonic M12 600watt modular http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817151030 (Always used Enermax in the past, but I've heard good things)

CPU = Core I7 2.66ghz http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16819115202

Hard Disk = 1TB WD Caviar http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822136317

Get the WD "Black" instead of the "Green".

The Black is faster.

I would change the PSU to Corsair HX520 and the video card to GTX275 or HD4890.

And I would highly recommend getting some RAM.

* The Black is faster and it has a 5 year warranty vs only 3 years on the "Green" and "Blue" models.
* Yes, I'd also suggest some memory for a well rounded system.

The PSU he chose is fine, but it's better to get an equally good, quieter PSU for less and put the extra money into a better video card which is more appropriate for the resolution of the monitor.
