This is my first build and i'm not sure what parts to get. I have picked some parts tho. This computer will be used for games such as Unreal Tournament, WOW, Age of conan and crysis. I expect to run Crysis only at medium settings.
My budget is around $1000 for the tower, but i would like to spend less money if possible.
I will be using headphones to play so I don't think I need a sound card.
Items I know I will get-

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
