hey. im planning to build a new computer. i have a 19' LCD monitor. im planning to get the following parts:


Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS Videocard

Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 CPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115003

2 GB Corsair XMS2 RAM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145033

ASUS P5B-E Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a...131070&ATT=13-131-070&CMP=OTC-d3alt1me

ENERMAX 550 Watt EG651P-VE FM(24P) Powersupply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103437

COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WWC
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119078

are these parts compatible? do you all see any bottlenecks in the system? i want to play all the latest games such as fear, Battlefield 2, UT2007 and all the newsest games that come out within the next year(s). Is this the correct type of RAM that i bought? is the case going to overheat because of the video card? is there any way i can take the powersupply that come with the case out and replace it with the one listed above? is the processor fast enough to handle the video card? is there any overkill or waste of resources? all coments are welcome. thank you.

Only thing I can say if you can wait 6 weeks to see how R600 does against the 8800 GTS. If it does well prices may go down.

Also overclocked GTS/GTX will be out in january so you may get more for your $ in that aspect as well.
