The Corsair memory is just too expensive! You said you aren't an overclocker...search for Kingmax TinyBGA 400Mhz memory.That should be at a very good price.Also, if I were you,I would get a 6800 video card,not a 6600...You did say the system is for games,right?
 
Yeah, I think I will get the 6800 over the 6600, not only because it is better, but I haven't been able to find the 6600 very easily in Canada. I might go with the Radeon 9800 as well, haven't really decided. But thanks for the advice on the RAM as well... I will keep my eyes open for that memory.
 
Well... that's it... I have ordered my system.

Everything that I decided on was in some way a result of advice that all of you gave me. I can't thank you enough, I think that I am getting a really good system, and the final parts should arrive on wednesday, so I will give you all an update on how the "put together" goes, as it will be my first time. But I owe you all a very large "THANK YOU" I really appreciate it, and I couldn't have done it without you.

Thanks
 
Haha, IS SATA2 NECESSARY? Hint: Drives double in speed about every 6 years. Today's SATA drives are less than 1/2 the speed of the SATA (1) interface.
