might want to get more ram & a videocard with more ram. also get a regular dvd rom drive to play the games from instead of using dvd burner to reduce the wear & tear on the burner but other that seems to be alright.

I agree with ddp more ram would be the best idea, do you have a budget?

Yeah that should be ok but you will not be able to have them running as dual channel you would need either 2 or 4 matching sets, if your not a hardcore gamer then stick with the 6600gt but maybe get a 256mb version, the 6800gt would be the better pick if you want it to last longer without having to upgrade.

If your in the UK you looking at about £200 for a 6800gt and in the US around $269.00, 4 slots = 4gb :-)

One is a normal 6800 and the other is a 6800gt, a lot of people say the 6600gt is just as good if not better than a normal 6800. The price seems rather high and unless you have that kinda cash then a 6600gt would be the easiest and cheapest way, the 6600gt is a cracking wee card that will play Bf2 and the likes of doom 3 great so you should be ok with it for a while to come. Sorry if i confused you i never realized just how much the 6800gt cost.

what parts do you have now because when i order a system without windows it is already built. if you click on the systems tab you'll see what they sell as units.
