Is this a decent build? What kind of memory should I get I have $100-$200 to spend on memory.
What kind of PSU will I want (I want to upgrade my graphics card to an 8800 GTS later on but never will I go SLI or Crossfire.)
Does the case I get really matter? I have $75 to spend on a case I want it to show the tempature inside
Do I need any cooling accessories or is the system stable?
I want a hard drive with a minimum of 120 GB, I have $100 to spend on this. (I'd perfer 10,000 RPM with 16MB cache and 120 GB space.)
Thanks - Connor (also note this is for gaming. like CS:S, BF2, COD2)
