I'm building a new PC. How would this play?

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

EVGA 123-YW-E175-AI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i FTW SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

Tuniq Tower 120 Universal Cooler 120mm Cooling Fan and Fan Controller

EVGA 512-P3-N976-AR GeForce 9800 GT Superclocked Edition 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Perpendicular Recording) ST3750640AS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA-300 Hard Drive

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card

OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

LITE-ON Black 52X IDE CD-ROM Drive Model DH-52N2P-04

OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply 100

Acer AL2216Wbd Black 22" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor with HDCP support 300 cd/m2 700:1

Are all these parts compatible?

Will they overheat?

Please tell me if I am missing anything.

Thanks in advance.

U dont have a power supply listed...im gonna assume u mean the combo for sale with the case

I would suggest a DVD-rom at least instead of CD

but other then that everything should work out ok

I like everything except the graphics card. I'd get a GTX280, or you can wait for a price drop after AMD launches their HD4870x2. Or settle for a GTX260. I'm saying this because you have an Nvidia mobo, or else I'd recommend ATi. Tuniq Tower is awesome.

I'm not a fan of the Acer Brand. I would get a BenQ or Samsung. Or even an LG..

Why do you recommend an 280GTX? The ATI 4870 performs nearly as good and costs a lot less!

Anyway if you are just concerned with gaming you really have spread your money out too thin,,,remember for gaming that your graphics card is the most important part! So get rid of that pointless 4GB's of 1066Mhz RAM for 2GB's of 800Mhz RAM, get a cheaper CPU cooler like the Arctic freezer pro 7 and then with that extra money but a better graphics card. This way you will get a MUCH better gaming experience.

Couple of things to note:

PSU?

Don't forget to buy an extra case fan for the side panel fan port. It's the only one empty on an Antec 900 and needs filling.

Ignore previous poster claims about downsizing amount of RAM. It's ok to drop to DDR2 800 to save money but 4GB is a must.

Get a GTX260 or GTX280 over a 9800GT as it's just a retooled 8800GT. Or a 4870 or 4870X2 (due out in a couple of days).

All i was refering to was if he needed to save money for a better graphics card because we dont know if he can expand his budget yet. Either way 1066Mhz is by no way needed for the average overclocker.

Wow I knew i forgot something I'll put in a PSU

Maybe I should get a ATI motherboard and get a 4870?ancient_diamond

An Intel P45 motherboard would be perfect for an HD4850 or HD4870, and it's more reliable than any nForce mobo out there.

So I'm going to get

GIGABYTE GA-EP45T-EXTREME LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

and

Vision Tek 900244 Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card

I ordered the 900 case last month and it came with three extra case fans. It seems there is a problem with the ones pre-installed that they fail if they are manually set to their low setting. Quite the little bonus as I also got it for pretty cheap ($70 AR)

I filled the side panel and put the other 2 spares in an old XPS 400.

Did you not read were he said b/c he had a Nvidia motherboard or he would have recommended ati

and

Vision Tek 900244 Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card

And great video card.

EDIT: Here is a good motherboard. ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131284 )

Similar price as the other one.

I guess, just like said above, I would prefer an intel chipset, why? because you get best of both worlds. You can get an intel dual or quadcore, which pretty much all outperform amd, but at the same time you can setup a crossfire system when you decide to buy another g-card. I prefer crossfire over sli right now because first of all the 4850/70 both kick nvidias and second of all, crossfire itself is just better then sli. (imo, I prefer the catalyst drivers) I think a 600 wat psu is more then enough and is quiet future ready if your satisfied with having only one card the next generation (ati 5000's and nvidia 3000's) because you will probably need more then 600w to run 2 of those beasts but then again, for decent performance one will be enough. The antec 900 case is a good case that has a lot of room and airflow. Do know that is successor, the antec 1200 has just been released. The 4870 is the best choice in this, and most cases and the dual 3.0 ghz is an excellent cpu. Its arguable to get a q6600 but then again, most games dont even fully utilize the dual cores, let alone the quad cores.

About the acer monitor, Im not quiet sure how much your going to pay for it but im not a big fan of there screens. I myself would prefer a samsung syncmaster or one of those new hp 22' screens, both are beasts.
