Advice on new rig

[Heusen77]

Hey there,

I would like some pointers on the new system; my concerns relate to the power supply and the operating system:


Thermaltake Bach VX VF4000BWS No PS w/ Window Middle Tower Case (Black)

Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600 2.4GHz 1066MHz 8MB LGA775 EM64T CPU, Retail

GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3R Core 2 Quad/ Intel P35/ DDR2&DDR3/ A&GbE/ ATX Motherboard

Cooler Master RP-600-PCAR eXtreme Power 600W ATX12V SLI Power Supply

Seagate ST3320620AS 320GB SATA2 7200rpm 16MB Hard Drive

Kingston KHX6400D2/1G D2-800 1GB HyperX Memory

EVGA 512-P3-N802-AR GeForce 8800GT Superclocked 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Microsoft Windows XP Home With SP2B 1 Pack - OEM (90) OR

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 - Retail (192)


Questions:

Can the case hold this 8800GT card?
Can the power supply run this set-up?
What is the real difference between the 2 xp version selected?

I looking to start purchasing some of the parts today so I hope ppl respond soon.

Thanks

I can't tell you for sure that case will fit. I would search for reviews of the case and try to spot comments like "case is a bit small, video was a tight fit" or "my video card didnt' fit, had to send it back". If you don't see these odds are it might be ok.

That power supply will be fine.

OEM is cheaper because it doesn't come with a fancy box. You can buy any old copy of xp home since the updates are free. Get the OEM.

Looks like a nice build. I would throw 4gb of ram in it depending on the use. It's so cheap now anyway.
