I didn't Hyperlink it or whatever it's called because of confidencial reasons.
All you have to do if you want to look at the component is copy and paste the name on newegg.com and it will bring you right to it.

I chose this stuff because of the pricing and also the highest rated. The cpu, RAM, and Motherboard all had atleast 1x winner of customer choice award so I figured those would be a good choice.

This would be my starting next gen gaming setup. Eventually I'll add more RAM and stuff but what do you think so far? (I hope my case can keep this setup cool :/)
 
No its a great build. The rosewill is a fine psu. People diss on them too much without actually having one. That build looks tight for a beginner setup
 
I'm getting the Rosewill and like I explained before, everything else because of it's good and backed up reviews. If Rosewill got good ratings and a lot of them, I'm going to trust the reviews. Thanks though. Here are the prices on the components:

Rosewill Stallion Series RD500-2-DB ATX V2.2 500W Power Supply - Retail PRICE: $48

Kingston 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR667D2N5K2/2G - Retail PRICE: $80

MSI P6N SLI Platinum LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail PRICE: $145

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6600 - Retail PRICE: $223
 
Oh, I have a question Chupacabra. Did you say DDR2 800 because of the Motherboard I have? I just noticed that it says that the Memory Standard is DDR2 800. Does that mean that DDR2 667 won't work on that motherboard?

It'll but is slower and the difference in price isn't that big, i recommended the ultra because is more power efficient and it's modular so you won't have to deal with cables you won't use inside your case
