I am undecided on a video card. Any suggestions? and memory (ddr2 1066 with a lower cas). I am not sure what brand to go with.

Demiurge

Huh?

SLOCOOKN

These are the pieces I am thinking of ordering to assemble a PC.

You definitely don't need more power than that. Looks like good choices, to me. Patriot, Corsair, Crucial all make good RAM.

How do you know you're going to end up with a Q6600 with G0 stepping?

Wishful thinking!

audiobliss

Hahahaha! Ok. Then, I'm in the same boat.

SLOCOOKN

The power supply is rated at 850watts. Would this be enough?

audiobliss

Oh yeah. Hence my comment that you don't need more power than that.

I'm just going with 700watts, and you're not really running any more than I am.

Here is what I would suggest. I built mine for the same reasons but had a limited budget or I would have built this exactly. I think you might be going a little overkill on the power supply and bumped up the hard drive space. I don't know if you plan on doing HD video editing, but that takes up a lot of space and even this hard drive will run out of room fast depending on the length of video you are trying to render a video from. I did 4GB of memory because your MB will handle it(it will handle up to 8GB actually) and your OS will recognize it and use it to it's full potential. I also threw in a video card(lifetime warranty) and a great case from Antec. The memory also has a lifetime warranty as well.

FYI, my current setup
Athlon 64x2 6000+
2GB of the memory above
Same hard drive
Asus Board with similar specs
Same video card

This setup allows me to download DV from a camcorder via firewire, while rendering a 30 minute video in uncompressed format and play a video game online without breaking a sweat. So you shouldn't have any problems because yours will be a bigger beast than mine.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks you guys! I will begin ordering parts tonight. Do you have any suggestions on retailers to order from....Or Whom to avoid!
