Have selected all the parts for my new system

[JamesGold]

Case

Monitor

Power Supply

RAM

Motherboard

CPU(Will be overclocked to around 3.0GHz)

Video Card

Old Maxtor 300GB ATA hard drive

Some old optical drive my father has

Already have keyboard, mouse, sound.

Keep in mind this is meant to be a BUDGET system, used primarily for playing games like Call of Duty 4 and Crysis at high settings on 1680 x 1050 resolution.

What do you think? Thanks.

Case: Not a big fan of the CM Centurion 5, I'd suggest something w/ 2 120mm fans 1 in front and 1 in back like the antec 3000B or something based on that design. rosewill has some cases that should fit the budget w/ 2x 120mm fans

Monitor looks good

Ram look good

Motherboard, In a budget build I'd go w/ the Asus P5k vanilla or the Abit IP35 Pro or E I'm just not a gigabyte fan and think you can do better w/ the Asus or Abit.

CPU for the price just get the E2180 to small of the price difference not to get the better multiplier / default speed.

Also if you are planing on overclocking to 3 ghz the HSF that comes w/ the E21xx series may not cut it so you may need to add something aftermarket like an Artic cooling Freezer pro or something similar thats better than the stock HSF.

Video Card looks good although you may want to wait a bit as 8800GT are heavily over MSRP atm.

Most of this is just personal prefrence, but may want to look into these suggestions.

Also you won't be able to play Crysis at high settings w/ just one 8800GT, gonna have to wait for a new gen of video cards for that and decent framerates.
