I'm going to build a new computer in two weeks or so. I think I listed everything that I would need but let me know if I left anything out~

Case - Antec Performance I P180B

MOBO - ASUS P5W DH DELUXE

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6600

GPU - MSI Radeon X1900XT 512MB

PSU - Antec TPII-550W

HDD - Seagate Barracuda 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s

RAM - CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

DVD - SAMSUNG 16X DVD±R LightScribe

Heatsink - THERMALRIGHT XP-90C CPU Copper Heatsink

About $1650 in total after rebates.
Any opinions are welcomed thanks! :)



EDIT:
Oh yeah and is it cheaper on shipping if you order everything together at newegg?

I wouldnt spend that much money on a case like that. for that price it should look / do / have a lot more to it. unless it can cook. if the case can cook, buy it
 
It looks great, except as 34erd said, wait for the price on the E6600 to drop. Since Intel says they should retail for around $316.
 
Yeah I don't think I will order mobo and cpu from newegg right now. There are cheaper places for those two items. :)
 
All I ever see on here is newegg, newegg, newegg. Lemings. I called up my guys at www.nerdny.com and they hooked me up for about the same price for the same system...but with a RAID card and an extra drive. You can get a decent Promise or 3ware card and there is a rebate with the Seagate drive. Got to have the RAID or you may lose all those naughty pics!

Plus, they have excellent customer service! I remember one time when I had a defective Graphics Card, they just replaced it with a brand new one. At no extra charge whatsoever!

Did they redeem the shipping fee as well?

I don't know... I didn't actually post it off to them or deal with the money, my Sister did it for me. :)

Also, shipping will be cheaper if you order multiple parts together in one shopping cart ;) I ordered 5 things; a graphics card, a PSU, DVD Burner, Arctic Silver 5, and a sound card for $12 shipping, I think it was...

Why not? It's like, "Ok I'm a really rich guy but lets buy a cruddy house." or "I have all these great cars but no garage." A good case is a great thing to invest in. And I personally love that case.
 
If the motherboard supports epp and you going with nvidia gpu then you can go with corsair memory. IF not then Gskill is the deal.
