I want to build a PC because I can't really find any pre built one with value. They seemed all overpriced. This would be the first PC i would actually make but ive worked with the PC i have now with only replacing Video Card and moving memory.
I want to make a PC with the following components and I want to know if some things are unnecessary and could be changed for something else and I want to know if all the things I listed would work once I buy everything and assemble it myself. I provided a Newegg wishlist for reference.
Thermaltake Armor Series VA8003BWS Black Full Tower Case w/ 25CM Fan - Retail
ASUS CROSSHAIR AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
XFX PVT80FSHE9 GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported HDCP Video Card - Retail
ABS Tagan ITZ Series ITZ1100 ATX12V / EPS12V 1100W Power Supply
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz Socket AM2 Processor Model ADX6400CZWOF - Retail
Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX6400D2K2/2G - Retail
Western Digital Caviar SE WD2500JB 250GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive - OEM
SAMSUNG 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA Model SH-S203B - OEM ( 2 of them)
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Channels PCI Interface
Microsoft Windows Vista 32-Bit Home Premium for System Builders Single
ZEROtherm BTF90 92mm Silent UFO CPU Cooler - Retail
Total: ~$2000 ( with tax+shipping) ( price might change with sales or deals but not much, i would expect)

Also if you could reference me to a Comp Building Guide, that would be helpful too. Any advice gladly accepted =)
Oh also for a basis of what I want. I basically want the rig to be Great throughout the end or last year of college (Im a senior so thats 4-5 years). If need be I can switch out memory cards or HD but I just don't want to skimp out on the Motherboard,Processor, Graphics Card, and Power Supply.
