Hi, I'm planning to build my computer but have a budget under 1000$ and i am planning to build somewhat of a gaming computer.

Here are the items i plan to get:

Video card-EVGA 896-P3-1260-AR GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Power-CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power ... - Retail

CPU-Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80580Q9400 - Retail

MOBO-EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI FTW ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

HD-Western Digital Scorpio Black WD3200BEKT 320GB 7200 RPM 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive - OEM

RAM-G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK - Retail

Please tell me if these parts work I'm not a great computer guy but want to learn. Thanks
 
Thank you very much for the advice I will sure look into it and i was wondering thought if i switch to the q6600 what would be a good mobo? or is the mobo i have no alright? i accidentally put the wrong hd. thanks for telling me. and i was wondering what operating system would be the best to run on this build? a 64 bit xp pro or a vista 64 bit?
 
I personally would get AMD in this moment in time as core i5 out in sept, I don't think it is a good time to invest on intel LGA775...
