Good gaming rig?

Xclio is also a good alternative for an inexpensive PSU.

I play cs:s in CAL and I want a video card that will give me no slow downs, I will upgrade to c2d when the price cuts come. For now, I will just buy these parts first. I am looking more into power supplies, keep the recomendations coming

The PSUs I linked to would be much better than the Antec. Antec isn't bad but its reputation has gone downhill in the last couple years from what I've been reading around.

Sounds good. Just make sure you get a good quality PSU and you'll be fine.

after a couple hours of research, i decided to get the 320MB version oc'ed (I will also push it further) since i only play 1280x1024 i'd rather save the $100 and put that towards a new mobo and cpu later on.
