New PC Specs Check

[imported_Hitman]

Hi Everyone,

Can you check this out for me and make sure I'm OK here?

E6600 CPU
Intel DP965LT P965 Mobo
1gb Corsair Value Select DDR2/800
Antec TPII-550 550w PSU
eVga 7900GT Vid Card

This is the basic system. It's is a Cyber**** computer, not a home build, I know how fond you all are of home builds, maybe next time. I'm kind of unsure whether I should stick to this, or maybe upgrade to the Corsair XMS Memory and the Asus P5N32-SLI SE nForce4 Mobo even though it has an older chipset, but more features...Ugh, what to do. Need to pull the trigger. System is for editing home movies into nifty dvd's with music, bells, whistles and as many games as I can possibly play But I'm not hardcore, just want good gaming. I can afford the upgrades, and if it would make sense to the system, so be it, you know. I don't want to skimp on something that sneaks up on me later, like a mobo! Anyway, any thoughts? Thanks so much!

You don't need sli, and I'm not sure you even need a 7900gt if you're a casual gamer, check out the 7600gt instead. I'm pretty sure the corsiar VS doesn't come in ddr2-800 flavors, check that... if they have an enhance, enermax, fortron/ocz, seasonic, something of the like instead for a psu, get that. Antecs are middle of the road. Think about 2gb if you can, stick with value memory, not XMS. That MoBo won't take advantage of any overclocking features. The MoBo is solid though. Hope this helped... welcome to the forums!
