I am planning on building a brand new PC in the next month or two, and I have chosen these parts to put into it:
Case - Xion II
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad
Video Card - nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX
Sound Card - Sound Blaster Audigy SE
RAM - OCZ (2 Gigs)
Monitor - Acer
Keyboard - Microsoft Keyboard
Motherboard - EVGA nForce 680i SLI
Media Drive - LG SuperMulti Drive
Hard-Drive - Seagate Barracuda 750 GB
Hard-Drive Cable - Cables To Go
Thermal Paste - Arctic Silver 5
So that's basically what I have so far, what I am asking for is, are all these parts compatible with each other and are there any recommended parts I should put in in place of something on this list? Also am I missing anything that i might need, kind of like how since the hard-drive is OEM I needed to buy a separate serial ata cable. Another thing I am a bit worried about is the cooling, will the stock fans on the CPU and the GPU be fine or should I buy a different cooler for them? Thanks in advance to anyone who lends their opinion to this!
EDIT: If it helps I want to dual boot Vista Ultimate and Ubuntu on that hard-drive
500 GB - Vista
300 GB - Ubuntu
50 GB - Backup Partition
