Need help with my PC building (im a noob)

Anyway, Im new to PC gaming, so Ive never built a computer before. I plan on buying the parts Crytek reccomended:

CPU - Intel Core2Duo E6750
GPU - GeForce 8800GT 512MB
Motherboard - NVIDIA nForce 650i Socket 775
PSU - 600W ATX12V
RAM - 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit
HDD - SATA 250GB 7200RPM
DVD - 20x DVD±R Burner
Case - ATX Midi Tower Computer Case
OS - Microsoft Windows XP Home with SP2

So, do I need to worry about anything other than putting the parts in their spot? Do I need to install heatsinks or anything like that? Also, Can any of you reccomend a moniter, keyboard, mouse, and speakers to go with it? I know its asking a LOT (especially from a noob), but this is going to be my first venture to PC gaming, and I dont want to get off on the wrong foot, so please help. Thanks in advance.

first ones a video and the last 2 are a picture guide ive used all before and they should pretty much tell you everything you need to know

Hey, I updated my post with the list of parts, also I was thinking maybe surround sound headsets would be cheaper... if anyone can reccomend some good ones?maplesausage

cpu - Q6600

GPU - ATI 3870x2

mobo - the 650i is old and outdated and will not support the new penryns buy the DFI blood iron or the abit P35

PSU - which psu are you buying some can be real crap and noob bait

os - its time to upgrade buy vista its not as bad as it used to be people are just ignorant

mouse - razer death adder it pwns all mice when it comes to having large hands if you have small hands then buy the IE 3.0

os - its time to upgrade buy vista its not as bad as it used to be people are just ignorant

suit yourself, but you'll have to run everything in DX10 which looks great but its SLOW. my advice? dual boot. or triple boot with open suse linux!

um slow.

iv been running vista for a while now and its pretty fast

but then again with that pc it will suffer

dx10 crysis is way slower than dx9 crysis my friend.elitegeek13

only if you have less supeior rig

if you havnt noticed it all depends on what components you are using

i agree...but i have a friend who dual boots and here are his specs:

8800GTS 512mb

core 2 duo 2.8 ghz

2 GB RAM

600W psu

i forget his mobo

but anyways, it runs crysis (the demo) so much faster on dx9...

i know....its flawed logic.

How much you want to spend, cause some people are giving you ridiculous things to put in your PC. I see you want to spend around $250 for a GPU, but some people are giving you $450 GPUs. Or CPUs that cost $50 more, when you could get a E8400 for the same price as a E6750 and have a supperior CPU. Yes the Q6600 is awesome, but the bang for buck in that E8400 is ridiculous.

I would get a E8400 @ 3.0Ghz and a P35 or X38 board. For a PSU, look at CoolerMaster PurePowerPro or the Corsair lineup. 9mmSpliff

well i dint see anywhere that he only had 250 to spend so i just listed the best of the best

and the Q6600 can easily be OC to 3GHz and more but he said he was a noob so i dont think he would be OCing and then the Q66600 would be good for games and multitasking
