I hope to be buying a new pc soon and was wondering if these specs were good/compatible.

OCZ Technology Powersupply ATX/EPS 700W, 120mm Fan, SATA, 4/8pin CPU, 20/24pin

Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, P965, Socket-775, ATX, SATAII, GbLAN, DDR2, 1xPCI-Ex16

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 2.67GHz Socket LGA775, 8MB, BOXED w/fan

Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 2048MB Kit w/two matched Value Select 1024MB

XFX GeForce 8800GTS 500M 320MB GDDR3, PCI-Express, 2xDVI/HDTV/HDCP,500/1600Mhz

Samsung SpinPoint T166 250GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM

 Your advice and suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Looks very good, and i think its all compatible.

I don't know anything about power supplies though, so someone else will have to help you on that. 

All you need it a sound card, if you care about that.NemesisLives

In my experience Sound Cards are more trouble that they are worth. My one is always having driver problems.

Only get a Sound Card if you are gonna get a really good set of speakers as well.

I never had problems with mine, but since I upgraded to Vista I do now.

True.

If you're going for a quad core i would recommend you get faster RAM at PC6400 or higher speeds. danny_stapleton

 I know but he has it listed in his spec with some slow RAM.

Ya dont spend your money on quad cores now.(unless you got a ton of money and you dont care). Get a E6600 and OC the hell out of it.Gekko101

maybe he aint comfortable wit OCing but still dont go quad unless youve SERIOUSLY got the money to burn on it. i mean your going quad and your picking up a GTS320. why not go for a GTX and pickup a good C2D. iunno jus my 2 cents. either way nice build

i agree, i was using onboard for a while before i put my audigy in, then when i went back to onboard the difference was NOTICEABLE. I then put in my X-fi and i could never go backMiguel16

I have a Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio soundcard, but i also have a great set of 7.1 speakers to go with it. The bass is just amazing, the whole room shakes. lol

I've never used the speakers without the soundcard, so its hard for me to say how much difference the soundcard makes.

llol yea the base is good. with my speakers at like quarter-full volume i can hear it perfectly fine outside of my house. even on low i can still feel the base on the 3rd floor in my bedroom and my pc is in the basement.

Same here. I have to nerf em to keep from being blown out of my chair ;) (Got a set of Z-5300e's)

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. To be honest I didn't think I was going to get as much of a response as I did.

Thank you very much for your suggestions. Will probably go for C2D rather than quad core and faster ram. Not to sure about a sound card. I'll have to put more thought into that.

If I go for C2D that would free up some cash for a GTX card.

 Will the mobo last me long. I'm trying to futureproof as much as possible.

Thanks again.
