Video Gaming/Editing/Re-encoding Tower with Blu-ray disc burner!

So one of my friends was letting me borrow his copy of WOLFENSTEIN for PC since I also have Wolfenstein 3D and Return to Castle Wolfenstein on my current tower. Not even wasting time I immediately entered the game on the default graphics settings. Oh damn the framerate really dropped very low among other things on my $300 HP/Compaq tower which I bought when Circuit City was going out of business.
The above was the final catalyst for actually going forward with buying a completely new computer after holding off for so long. So with NewEgg and with the advice of various including forums I'm finally going through with this.
Previously I mostly got pre-built computers but this time I figure might as well go with building my own. Here's what I'll be getting.:cool:

Case
Power SUPPLIES!
Mother Board
CPU
RAM
GPU
HDD
Blu-ray DEESC Burner
Operating System

Thing is I'd also like to get more fans for the case and more heatsinks for the cards so it'll run more cool. This is my first time putting together an entirely new computer part by part.:D
Should I also post a list of games I'm planning to play, purchase and Steam for this in a future post?:confused:

Last but not least: Of course I'm also wanting to get a new monitor, keyboard and mouse eventually.
 
Posting list of games for this including WOLFENSTEIN, for which I'm glad finally made me active about this project instead of procrastinating about it for such a long time. I figure I buy the 360 counterparts for now to play, the PC ones new for good prices and kept sealed. Then when rest of the programs, codecs and older games are installed, using the X-Acto knife for all those sealed PC games and installing them like a mad man. CAN'T WAIT TO PUT THEM ON MUCH BETTER SETTINGS COMPARED TO MY CURRENT TOWER!:D
Okay here're the titles I'll be installing on the new tower. Yep they're all I have already installed on this one. Glad I'm a discphile.:p
(Numerical then Alphabetical. No asterisk denotes I already own it for PC and could also be installed. Asterisk denotes I already own it on 360 and will be buying for PC. Double asterisk denotes game borrowed/rented/played before/haven't played and will be buying for both 360/PC. Triple denotes I'll just be buying it for PC only. All new PC titles will remained shrinkwrapped until I put the tower together. Any suggestions why some of the older games don't run very well on Vista and I've also read for 7? Was considering Virtual Operating System or whatever it's called, especially for ALIENS versus PREDATOR - Gold Edition. Yep also use STEAM and ScummVM. Pity I've forgotten alot of DOS or I'd also use MS-DOS.) Suggestions are helpful too! Also great idea of the sort of games I play.
