New Gaming Rig (Will it work?)
I'm building my first gaming rig in a week or two, so I'd like to run the parts through you guys here at Overclock.net to see if it would actually work. =D
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad 6600 (Going to overclock to 3GHz as soon as I get it) http://www.newegg.com/product/Produc...82E16819115017 Mobo - Abit IP35 Pro http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813127030 Power Supply - OCZ GamexStream 700w http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341002 Cooling - Zalman CNPS 9700 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118020 RAM - G.SKILL 4GB(2 x 2GB) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231122 Case - Thermaltake http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811133021 HD - Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 320gigs http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148140 Graphics Card - BFG 8800 640mb' http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814143092 I'd greatly appreciate it if you guys let me know whether it would work or not, and whether I'm missing anything.

Right off the bat I see 3 gigs. Go for even numbers! Preferably 2 unless you are going to use a 64 bit OS.

Like I said last time about the cooler. And Yes, go with an Even number of gigs for ram. Either 2GB for 32-Bit OS or 4GB if you have a 64-Bit OS. That Case is a great choice.

Ever seen a mouse pop?

What size display do you have? the 640mb is really only going to increase performance if your screen is 1680x1050 or larger...

If you have problems just ask here. also have a camera handy if the guys cant understand you  The only thing i would change w/ your parts is the PSU and the cooler. get a Thermalright 120 extreme and a PC power and cooling 750w silencer The jab-tech link is a pretty good store. ordered a couple of parts there before and it got here quick and NO TAX. The psu is like the rolce royce of PSU. very good build quality and that model is very quiet  Good luck on the build!!!!
