Hi,
This will be my first time building a computer...kinda excited.
What do you think of my build? I borrowed most of it from other people on these forums, and some of them suggested some of these for others, so I'm just trying to ask here for any suggestions on the balance between $ and performance or any thing I'm missing.

2 GB of Ram?
Looking for a cheap good ram..any suggestions?
All of this after shipping comes out to 918.00 or there abouts. I wish I could reduce the price because I am on budget - trying to keep it at around 1000 (I know, kind of hard when you're looking for a decent gaming system).
I do want to overclock...hope these specs are good for it.
1. Should I change the intel to a e4300 or e6300? or any cheaper brand of harddrive..?
2. Will I need any additional equipment to put this thing together besides screwdrivers?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, been very interested in building. Thank you.
