Hey Guys, I am planning to build my first computer. It will mainly serve as a gaming computer, as well a school tool. The OS will be Windows XP Pro. Here are my core components, second revision:

ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP Socket T (LGA 775)
E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor
SAPPHIRE Radeon X1900XT 100149 Video Card
Segate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA (x2)
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
NEC DVD+R 3550A
Samsung 204B
NeoPower 550W
Antec P-180B Case
Logitech MX1000
Logitech G15

Do you think that all these pieces will function well together? Here is a list of the games that I would like to play on it: Rise of Nations, Rise of Legends, Civilization 4, Command and Conquer: The First Decade, Command and Conquer 3 (when it comes out), and Star Wars: Empire at War. My price window is $2100 - 2400. Thanks for the help.

Conroe is a good choice ... I'm an AMD fan but Conroe is just better .

Also ... I would recommend you the 3800X2 ... overclock it and save your money ... A LOT OF MONEY 🙂

Good HDD choice ... I hope you get the 5 tear warranty ...

In the DVD-RW zone ... I would chose a BENQ 1655 .... BENQs are currently the best DVD-RWs ...

Also ... I would recommend a FSP Group (Fortron Source) PSU ... the 700W model .

Nice case ... and no comment an the mouse and keyboard ... those are truly your personal choices 🙂

Good luck !
 
Get a Seasonic S12-500 or Enhance ENP-5150GH for PSU. The latter is cheaper, but works just as well.
