Well, it's been about 8 years since I have built a computer, so I figured I better let someone have a look before I go buy the stuff to make sure I didn't make some stupid mistake.

I am going to be building 2 of these, for myself and my g/f. We mainly play WoW which I know this will do well, but also looking at it for being able to play newer games.

Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 Wolfdale 2.66GHz 3MB L2 Cache

ASUS P5Q SE PLUS

OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) x2

PNY VCG981024GXEB-FLB GeForce 9800 GT Hybrid Power 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16

Western Digital Caviar SE WD5000AAJS 500GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s

RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP

Look ok?

Looks fine, but if you get windows Vista I would add more RAM in there, if its XP youre good to go.

If you look at the end of his RAM link, you'll see he has an X2. Which I would assume means he'll be grabbing 4 gigs of RAM.

Ya missed that X2 far at the end of the link. Id rather have seen it before.

Then its all good no matter the OS

yes, that's exactly what that meant. will be putting 4GBs in each. Not sure if it would be better to go with 4 1GB sticks or 2 2GB sticks though. I thought the 4 1GB would be better though.

Thanks for the positive feedback, hopefully I'll be able to do this soon.
