Get this power supply instead.. you'll want it for the 8800GTS.

I think it would power a 8800 but i would reccomend these for that setup

And for the motherboard i would get this one IMO. Or a Gigabyte DS3R if you dont plan on SLI.

Only other thing i would suggest it maybe try and get the 640mb card over the 320, with newer games such as crysis and running some at higher resolutions will need for Vram.

Eh, ok im done :p

thanks for the fast replys. More sug. are welcome. So are those all the parts I need to build a desktop? I am assuming they will all work together or you would have said somthing.

yeah thats everything outside of the cd drive and operating system. for the os i would suggest OEM Vista Home Premium 64 bit. In order to use DX10 you gotta have vista so...

I have windows xp laying around my house so I think I will use that untill I get some extra cash. Anyone know what a hp zd8000 notebook is worth used. it has 2.8X ghz and 1gb ram. 100gb hard drive I think. needs new battery. I want to sell it if I build this desktop.

you don't need to spend the money on hyperx memory... you can look at corsair, gskills, or crucial for good but not as expensive ram
