My question is, is this a good build? Can I get a better bang for my buck? And will these parts be difficult to install considering I've never built a computer before.

if you wait a few days, the 8800GT will be out, and the performance is pretty close to that of a gtx
and if your gettting vista, it has to be 64 bit to use 4 gb

 

[aetherh4cker]

Isn't the 680i chipset supposed to be the least favorable one right now?

If you aren't doing SLI. Then the P35 is cheaper and in most cases better.

get these:

Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

and a better Motherboard..
Newegg.com - ABIT IP35 LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

get a Tuniq Tower 120.. since the Zalman's are way overpriced for what they do (don't get me wrong.. its great cooler... its just a luxury brand to me)

agreed with Nosboost on the 8800gt...

Normally I'd say the PSU is overkill.. but since your getting it for 65$ (with rebate and the Combo deal..) I say go for it..

Newegg.com - LITE-ON Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache IDE 20X DVD±R DVD Burner - OEM

this is a good deal on the DVD-RW too..

Ouch on the speakers....don't expect anything great.....
get these if you do
ClubIT Product - Logitech Z-5300e 5.1 Speaker System 280W RMS Retail

 

[NosBoost300]

what if he wants sli

 

[veg1992]

you mean for two SLi'ed 8800gt?

that maybe a good idea.. and i just noticed that the 680i LT is $130...

 

[bull3tx2]

I don't really want SLI, and the speakers, I'm not gonna spend money on 5.1 Speakers, my desk space is way too small for them.

 

[aetherh4cker]

If no SLI, then definately switch the motherboard out for a P35 one. The one vernong1992 recommended is decent.
